A chapter in Affective Decision Making Under Uncertainty, 2020, pp 9-16 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The fourfold pattern of decision-making under risk, discussed in (Kahneman 2011), is described by the author as “one of the core achievements of prospect theory”. It is a 2 × 2 contingency table, where the columns are high probability, the certainty effect, and low probability, the possibility effect, and the rows are gains and losses from a given status quo.
