Abstract

Investment decision-making is crucial in finance, particularly for students planning their financial futures. This study focuses on students at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) to understand how psychological factors influence their investment decisions. Utilizing Prospect Theory from behavioral economics, the research examines key factors such as risk perception, profit expectations, and time preferences. The study involved a survey of UNM students, and the descriptive analysis reveals that students tend to make decisions influenced by behavioral biases, loss aversion, and risk preferences. The findings indicate that students are consistent in their financial decision-making but are significantly impacted by psychological biases, particularly in their tendency to avoid losses and their cautious approach to risk and uncertainty. Overall, the investment behavior of UNM students is shaped by the psychological factors outlined in Prospect Theory, highlighting their reliance on subjective perceptions and loss avoidance. This research provides valuable insights for developing more effective financial literacy strategies and promoting wiser investment decisions among students. Additionally, it contributes to the application of Prospect Theory in the context of student investment decision-making.

Abstract

This study explores the investment readiness of students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Negeri Makassar using the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to play crucial roles in influencing investment readiness. Intrinsic motivation drives students to develop their knowledge and skills, while extrinsic motivation is triggered by financial rewards and social recognition. The main barriers identified include low financial literacy, limited access to information, and resistance to new technologies. The study suggests that enhancing financial education and digital literacy through comprehensive programs and supportive environments is essential to overcoming these obstacles and improving students' investment readiness. By addressing these barriers, educational institutions can better prepare young investors for successful financial decision-making, equipping them with the necessary tools and confidence to navigate the investment landscape.
