Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that loss aversion significantly affects financial decision making?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed studies and a reference article indicate that loss aversion influences investor behavior, such as the disposition effect, and that it significantly affects investment decisions in specific markets. None quantifies the size of the effect or establishes it as a general, significant driver across financial decision making.
