    Purpose- The cognitive comprehension of financial indicators, risk aversion, risk perception, and investment behavior is defined as financial literacy. It's possible that a variety of characteristics, such as gender, age, income level, social standing, education, etc., will affect an investor's behavior. The purpose of this study is to highlight the behavior of investors in Turkish capital markets. The analysis is done on the results of two surveys, the first conducted in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the second in the first quarter of 2023. Methodology- This study's objective is to highlight investor behavior and risk perception in Turkish financial markets. In the most recent two consecutive quarters, the results of two surveys are analyzed and compared. Three sections comprise the surveys. A demographic question is asked in the first section. The second section asks questions concerning investment behavior, signs of financial stress, and confidence in regard to one's financial literacy. The final aspect contributes to the analysis of what people think of the Bitcoin market. In this study, Graphic analysis, Cronbach Alpha, Normality, and Mann-Whitney U tests are performed, respectively. First, the graphical analysis of the selected questions is made. Based on these graphs, the similarities and differences between the surveys are shown. Second, The reliability test is applied to the selected questions for the statistical modeling of the analysis. This test is determined as the Cronbach Alpha test. Third, the Normality test is applied to reveal which test to use in the next step. Two different tests are used for this analysis. These are the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Fourth, the Mann-Whitney U test is applied. At this stage, firstly, Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon W test statistics are examined. The ranks are calculated for each variable. Finally, the Mann-Whitney U test is applied, and the results are interpreted. Fifth, The results of the two surveys are compared. Findings- The findings show both similarities and differences among numerous variables. For instance, holding time is defined as the amount of time an investor holds an investment or as the time between purchasing it and selling it. Investors' risk aversion and financial literacy both influence the holding period. Riskier assets force investors to adjust their purchase or sell actions dynamically. The results show various portfolio diversification behaviours. While men prefer to start with foreign currency investments, women are more interested in making gold investments. Also, middle-aged investors invest more in cryptocurrencies and take more risks than younger investors. Conclusion- based upon the analysis, findings it may be concluded that respondents do differ in their investment preferences and risk-taking over the years. The findings show various portfolio diversification behaviors. While men prefer to invest in foreign currency, women are more interested in purchasing gold.

In other words, the aim of the research is to reveal whether there is a difference in investment preferences between men and women. It is investigated whether the gender factor affects investment decision-making behavior. Using an experimental finance approach, the relationship between gender diversity and investment decisions is examined.

    Gender difference in risk and confidence perception: implementation with logit model
    (Suat Teker, 2024-12-31) Teker, Dilek; Teker, Suat; Demirci, Beyda
    Purpose - This study aims to understand individuals’ behaviors and perceptions regarding investment preferences. Specifically, it examines the differences in investors’ perceptions of “concerns about losing money due to investment decisions” and “confidence in their knowledge of portfolio creation and management” based on the gender variable. Methodology - The study utilizes survey data from 69 participants (29 female and 40 male). It employslogit models to analyze two dependent variables: (1) the stress level due to concerns about investment decisions and (2) confidence in portfolio management and financial knowledge. Gender is the key independent variable, with marginal effects calculated for unambiguous interpretation. Findings - The results indicate that gender has a statistically significant impact on both stress and confidence levels. Women are 21.2% more likely than malesto experience stress due to concerns about investment decisions. Conversely, females are 18.5% less likely to feel confident about their financial knowledge and portfolio management abilities than males. These findings reflect the gender-based differences in risk perception and confidence. Conclusion -The study highlights the critical role of gender in shaping investment behaviors. Women tend to exhibit higher risk aversion and lower financial confidence than men. To address this disparity, targeted financial education programs and awareness initiatives are recommended to enhance women’s financial literacy and confidence. Bridging this gap can contribute to improved financial participation and decision-making among women.

    A metric-driven IT risk scoring framework: incorporating contextual and organizational factors
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-09-24) Ünal, Nezih Mahmut; Çeliktaş, Barış
    Risk analysis is a critical process for organizations seeking to manage their cybersecurity posture effectively. However, traditional risk analysis frameworks, such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), primarily evaluate technical impacts without incorporating organizational context and dynamic risk factors. This paper presents a metric-based risk analysis framework designed to provide a more adaptable and context-aware risk-scoring framework. The proposed model enables risk owners to define customized threat scenarios and dynamically adjust metric weights based on organizational needs. Unlike traditional approaches, our method integrates contextual parameters to improve the accuracy and relevance of risk calculations. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed framework enhances risk prioritization and provides more actionable insights for decision-makers. This study contributes to the field by addressing the limitations of existing risk analysis models and offering a systematic approach for cybersecurity risk management.
