Abstract

Research works in the cognitive biases domain led to the birth of heuristics % biases' approach in the late 1970s by developing theoretical approaches to comprehend the constraints of human judgement. This research paper is developed with a notion of understanding the relationship between heuristics, irrational decisions of investors and the mediating role of fundamental anomalies. Majority of the studies, in the area of behavioural finance examine the direct relationship between heuristics, investment decisions and performance but this study is first of its kind which explores the relationship with the mediating effects of fundamental anomalies. Data are collected from investors from Chennai by adopting a multi-stage sampling method using a structured questionnaire. The results indicate that all the heuristics dealt in this study have a significant and positive relationship with irrational decision making and fundamental anomalies partially mediate the relationship between all the heuristics and irrational decision making.
