Ambiguity aversion means people prefer to choose the option whose probability is certain rather than the option whose probability is uncertain in the ambiguity decision-making.This study sets decision-making role (make decision-making of oneself and predict decision-making of others) and frame type (positive and negative) as experimental variables to explore the effects of this two factors made of ambiguity aversion in the personal money, life-saving and waiting time decision areas.The study included three experiments whose results showed that:In the first experiment,both decision-making role and frame type have significantly affected ambiguity aversion in the personal money decision area,and they interact with each other.In the second experiment,both decision-making role and frame type have significantly affected ambiguity aversion in the life-saving decision area,and they interact with each other.In the third experiment,both decision-making role and frame type have significantly affected ambiguity aversion in the personal money decision area,but they don’t interact with each other.Conclusion:in the personal money,life-saving and waiting time decision areas,the each effect of decision-making role and frame type to ambiguity aversion is very different,and the effects of two factors whether they interact with each other are also very different.
