TL;DR: This paper found evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across risk tolerance and the risky behaviors: 46 of the 99 general risk tolerance loci contain a lead SNP for at least one of their other GWAS, and general risk-tolerance is genetically correlated with a range of risky behaviors.

TL;DR: Individual differences in GM volume in TPJ not only translate into individual differences in the general propensity to behave altruistically, but they also create a link between brain structure and brain function by indicating the conditions under which individuals are likely to recruit this region when they face a conflict between altruistic and selfish acts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of risk attitudes in individual investment decisions in risk games but not in corresponding trust games has been investigated, showing that trust decisions are not tightly connected to a person's risk attitudes, and they lend support to the "trust" interpretation of decisions in investment games.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the hypothesis that individuals with a preference for egalitarian outcomes are more reluctant to self-select into competitive environments, based on the observation that payoff inequalities among winners and losers arise as a natural byproduct of competition.

TL;DR: A genetic study identifies hundreds of loci associated with risk tolerance and risky behaviors, finds evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across these phenotypes, and implicates genes involved in neurotransmission.
