Abstract: Abstract With the continuous expansion and integration of the securities market, the efficient market hypothesis of traditional finance can no longer fully explain the changeable psychology of investors. Behavioral finance and traditional finance are constantly colliding. Knowing various risk indicators and returns, how investors will make choices is the core of behavioral finance. This paper rationally explored investor personality traits and emotional decision-making, the causes of cognitive errors, mental accounting effects, and investment portfolio recommendations. This paper added more explanations and case studies on the basis of some theories put forward by economists. It includes some economic problems existing in traditional finance, the collision between traditional finance and behavioral finance, and the contradiction of efficient market and rational expectations. And also analyze some personal traits in investment psychology, like the cognitive bias, overconfidence, bystander effect, and other traits. Finally, some investment suggestions are put forward to help investors better build psychological accounts.
