Gender differences can be found in different social domains. Particularly, the
present project is focused on the study of gender differences towards risk and
ambiguity environments. The majority of the literature suggests, in the first place, that
gender differences can be found under risk condition, being males more risk prone
than females. Secondly, gender differences are not significant under ambiguity
condition. In this paper, takes place an experimental study measuring gender
differences through both conditions. The results show -as the majority of the literature
propose- that females tend to be more risk averse than men. Nevertheless, the results
also suggest that despite there is not correlation between the different
attitudes measured for both conditions, there is a high correlation between
subjects classified as risk consistent and ambiguity consistent. [-]
