Reading comprehension · solved example

Behavioural economics has quietly overturned a comfortable assumption: that people, given information, will act in their own best interest. In experiment after experiment, humans prove predictably irrational. We overvalue what we already own, fear a loss more than we relish an equal gain, and follow the herd even against the evidence. Rather than lament these flaws, some economists have sought to harness them. A pension scheme that enrols workers by default, allowing them to opt out, dramatically raises participation, not by compelling anyone but by making inertia work for the saver instead of against him. Critics warn that such "nudges" can shade into manipulation, and that the line between guiding a choice and dictating it is thinner than its advocates admit. The debate, ultimately, is less about economics than about how much we trust institutions to know what is good for us.

Which human tendency is mentioned?

Acting only on evidence
Undervaluing what we own
Always ignoring the herd
Valuing losses and gains equally
Fearing a loss more than relishing an equal gainCorrect

Solution

The passage says we fear a loss more than we relish an equal gain.
