This paper is a study in Behavioral Finance that aims to understand the levels of risk aversion of males and females. Through three scaled up experiments with paired lotteries, subjects should respond in which line they changed from the safe lottery with low payoffs to the risky option with greater payoffs. As the probability of gains increased in the risky lottery, more subjects would change for this option. It was ascertained that women are more risk averse than man, confirming what was observed in the literature. In addition, it was possible to observe the certainty and reflex effects described in the Prospect Theory, confirming axioms that it predicted.
