much appreciated. from that conclusion (2012): --poor countries being more risk tolerant than rich countries-- confirmed by 2019 research: "...The most important difference between countries consisted in poorer countries showing systematically higher levels of risk tolerance than richer countries..." onlinelibrary.wiley.com here's a 2019 'study' (not research) about u.s. folks: "... The Harris Poll... found less than half of American investors were comfortable with taking financial risks in order to realize financial returns, with nearly a third (30%) having an extremely low financial risk tolerance, versus 14% of risk takers at the opposite end of the spectrum having a high degree of risk tolerance. ...Americans who are risk averse to investing are more inclined to play it safe across many other areas of their lives including their careers, where they chose to live, the activities they pursue and their social lives. The instinct to preserve and protect is evident in these numbers, and while that's a positive and healthy tendency, it's also possible to be overly cautious due to uncertainty..." fa-mag.com these studies/research suggest that u.s. citizens are not very risk tolerant... though not conclusive. and that, maybe, increased uncertainty is directly related to increased risk avoidance. haven't, yet, found anything about how risk tolerance/avoidance changes over time due to social conditions.
