The data analysis technique used in this study is descriptive statistical analysis, which is measured using SPSS v.25 software. The multiple linear regression analysis in this study includes a prerequisite test. The analysis shows that the data are normally distributed, linear, and there is no heteroscedasticity and multicollinearity. The feasibility test of the regression model, namely the F test, shows that the regression model is declared feasible. The coefficient of determination is the Adjusted R Square of 54.6% - which shows the magnitude of the influence of risk perception, return expectations, and behavioral motivation on investment decisions, while the rest is influenced by other variables which are not examined. The results of the t hypothesis test in this study show that: (a) Risk perception has a significant positive effect on investment decisions; (b) Expected Return has a significant positive effect on investment decisions; and (c) Behavioral Motivation has a significant positive effect on investment decisions]]>
