Choudhary International Journal of Behavioural Accounting and Finance, 2024, vol. 7, issue 2, 193-213 Abstract: The behavioural factors impacting investment behaviour studied by behavioural finance, how good these studies hold in the Indian market context. The present research attempted to investigate the influence of prospect factors, i.e., risk aversion, loss aversion and regret aversion on investment patterns and behaviour in the Indian stock market. Investors are rational and markets are efficient as stated by traditional finance, gave this research the basic idea to explore the factors that impact the rationality of investors and the efficiency of markets.

Purposive and snowball sampling techniques of non-probability sampling were used. A sample size of 300 has been taken into study. EFA, CFA and SEM research tools were used in the prior research. Both risk and regret aversion had positive significant association with investment decisions of 14 and 25%, respectively. Keywords: behavioural finance; Indian equity market; investment decisions; investment performance; prospect theory.
