How fear, bias and emotions influence investing decisions


Investment Psychology focuses on the part of investing most people underestimate: your own mind. Markets don’t just move prices. They trigger fear, excitement, doubt, and overconfidence. This island helps you understand why smart people still make bad decisions when money is involved.


You explore how common mental patterns quietly shape your behavior. You learn why losses hurt more than gains feel good, why long-term thinking feels uncomfortable, and how volatility can push even calm investors into rushed choices. FOMO, panic, overconfidence, regret, and cognitive dissonance all play a role. These reactions aren’t personal flaws. They’re human defaults.


This island shifts the focus from predicting markets to managing yourself. By the time you move on, you’re better at staying calm, thinking longer-term, and building habits that still work when things get uncomfortable.


You’ll learn:


  1. How fear, bias, and emotion influence investing decisions even when you think you’re being rational
  2. Why long-term investing feels difficult and how to stay calm during volatility and market stress
  3. How to build mental habits and simple checks that help you avoid common psychological traps

After Investment Basics, this island helps you understand how your mindset affects decisions before you move on to Financial Markets and Products and explore what you’re actually investing in.
