The Effects of Sports Activities on Time Preferences and Risk Aversion

Abstract

This paper investigates whether sports experience changes adolescents’ preferences. For this purpose, we conducted a survey of Japanese university students about their sports experiences, time preferences, and risk aversion. Our regression analysis shows that students’ sports experience does not significantly change their time preferences or risk aversion. This result implies that although students devote a lot of time to sports in Japan, sports still do not have a significant impact on students’ attitudes towards time and risk.
