Abstract: Abstract With the rapid popularization of mobile Internet technology, the transmission channel of financial knowledge has changed significantly and gradually moved to short video platform. This change has had a systemic and profound impact on novice investors with limited investment experience. This study focuses on in-depth analysis of the impact path of algorithmic recommendation mechanisms in financial short videos on the behavioral decisions of novice investors. Short video platforms have reconstructed the dissemination mode of financial knowledge through algorithm recommendations, bringing significant changes to inexperienced investors. The algorithm recommendation mechanism is prone to giving rise to the "information cocoon" effect, allowing investors to only access specific information; Meanwhile, the content design of financial short videos may also lead to cognitive biases. The synergy between the two leads to alienation in the decision-making of novice investors. To this end, a governance framework has been proposed, which includes establishing an algorithm transparency evaluation system, implementing content classification management, and strengthening qualification supervision. The aim is to develop systematic solutions and provide practical references for regulatory policy formulation and novice investor decision-making optimization.
