<![CDATA[While the number of stock investors in Indonesia has been growing, many particularly from Generation Z, who currently lead the market, continue to exhibit non-rational tendencies when making investment choices. These tendencies are frequently shaped by cognitive distortions such as representative, availability, and herding biases. This research investigates how these biases impact Gen Z’s stock investment decisions and explores whether long-term orientation moderates these effects. The research gathered responses from 349 Indonesian Generation Z participants through an online survey, with the data subsequently examined using the PLS-SEM method.

Long-term orientation significantly moderates the effect of herding bias but does not significantly moderate the effect of representative bias or availability bias.
