Abstract
Purpose of the article: Classical and neo-classical economic theories consider a human as a rational individual
making logical decisions and maximizing his profit. But what if it is not the case? People making decisions
in the real world will never be perfectly informed about product or service they want to purchase. The economic
theories propose that people make their decisions rationally, practically avoiding the risk. Nevertheless,
where could be then ranked gamblers, bookmakers and similar people? They are not just a negligible statistical
deviation. On the contrary, there are many of them among us. This paper presents some of demonstrations that
are different view on making decisions.
Methodology/methods: In this paper was applied primary and secondary research. The secondary research
was based on analysis of papers and literature published about prospect theory and expected utility theory.
This research was used to support a critical analyse of how individuals choose among risky alternatives. The
primary research was conducted using the questionnaire.
Scientific aim: The aim of this paper is critically describe differences between expected utility theory and
prospect theory a differences between decision making in original research applied by Kahneman and Tversky
and research applied in this paper.
Findings: This survey discovered, that decisions of people making decision under risk, don’t respond expected
utility theory but prospect theory is valid. There are no differences when we compared original Kahmenam and
Tversky survey with this paper
Conclusions: In situations where people making decision under risk, it is better to apply prospect theory then
expected utility theory.
