The analysis results indicate that only overconfidence and herding behavior significantly influence Generation Z’s investment decision, while trait anger, trait anxiety, and self-monitoring show no significant effect. This finding confirms that cognitive biases have a more dominant influence than personality traits in investment decision-making.
