The aim of this study was to investigate individual behavior in choosing symmetric monetary gains and losses under certainty. As in previous research, results showed that gains and losses are not equal and seem to be drawn by different internal principles of choice. Subjects preferred to lose sooner in time against average or high losses. Furthermore, considering the proportional difference between short and long-term alternatives of choice, the percentage of responses for early outcomes was increasing for losses and decreasing for gains.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate individual behavior in choosing symmetric monetary gains and losses under certainty. As in previous research, results showed that gains and losses are not equal and seem to be drawn by different internal principles of choice. Subjects preferred to lose sooner in time against average or high losses. Furthermore, considering the proportional difference between short and long-term alternatives of choice, the percentage of responses for early outcomes was increasing for losses and decreasing for gains.
