ABSTRACT
In the paper we attempt to explain the impact of psychological factors on propensity for risk and the level of expected return exhibited by individual investors active on the Stock Exchange in Warsaw. The article aims at identification and description of the relationship between unobservable factors such as behavioral inclinations, propensity for risk, ability to use technical analysis as well as market quality with application of Structural Equation Model. The hypothesis was put that behavioral inclinations such as errors in the opinions and preferences cause an increase in individual propensity for risk as well as the increase in the level of expected and satisfactory return. It was also assumed that investors that properly use technical analysis in their decision-making process are less sensitive for behavioral inclinations than the others. The results of estimation of the model allowed for identification of the unobservable psychological factors and confirmed the impact of the defined factors for the increase of individual propensity for risk.
