Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between mental health, decision-making under risk, and trust among Lebanese nationals, Syrian refugees, and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Over 700 participants completed measures assessing these factors. Higher subjective well-being was associated with more risk-taking among refugees but not Lebanese nationals. Behavioral interventions (nudges and boosts) showed moderate effects on improving advantageous choices, particularly for Lebanese participants. The findings highlight the importance of considering mental health and risk-taking in policy interventions for vulnerable populations.
