Theory that describes decisions between alternatives that involve risk, i.e. decisions between uncertain outcomes where probabilities are known. The model is DESCRIPTIVE i.e. attempts to model real-life choices, rather than optimal decisions.
It was developed by Kahneman(Princeton) and Tversky in 1979 as a pyschologically realistic alternative to expected utility theory. The theory describes how individuals evaluate losses and gains.
