Loss Aversion Attenuates Under Time Pressure

Four experiments demonstrate that loss aversion attenuates under time pressure. We posit a value function-based explanation: the loss of time under time pressure places people on the locally-convex portion of the value function, from which they consider the hedonic impact of losses to be similar to that of gains.
