The main purpose of this study is to examine whether investors have different overconfidence tendency among different types of personality traits and personal backgrounds, and whether those differences could affect the investors’ trading behaviors. This study uses questionnaire survey which combines “overconfidence” with two types of personality traits: Locus of Control and Risk Taking. Moreover, we use the trading details which the school organized by “virtual investment competition” and employ several statistics models (i.e. descriptive analysis, reliability and validity analysis, nonparametric statistics, canonical correlation and GMM) to investigate the relationship between investors’ psychological status, personal background and trading behaviors.
