Loss aversion, is the tendency to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring equivalent gains. In other words, people feel the pain of losing more intensely than the pleasure of gaining the same amount. Loss-averse individuals are willing to take risks to avoid losses, even if those risks might lead to greater losses in the long run.
