This thesis contributes to the development of theoretical and experimental approaches that extend the analysis of risk preferences beyond the classical concept of expected utility theory. The thesis contains four main chapters. The first two chapters are concerned with extensions and applications of the most promising descriptive theories of behavior under risk. In these models it is assumed that the assessment of alternatives partly depends on a comparison with a precisely specified reference point. The remaining two chapters propose experimental methods that are to a considerable degree independent of a specific model. They can therefore be applied in cases in which the correct model of behavior is uncertain or in which several subpopulat...
