Gains above this reference point are worth +1 util. Losses below this reference point are worth -2 utils. The person is faced with two choice problems. The first involves a choice between (A) no gamble and (B) a gamble with an equal
chance of winning $1,800 and losing $1,000 . The second choice problem, the person first has $1,000 taken away (resulting in the adjustment of the reference point).
