So to speak, investor’s knowledge level of modern scientific theories "theories such as prospect theory, cumulative prospect theory, real options theory and behavioral finance topics" in terms of environmental uncertainty is investigated. That is to say, in case the investors believe the economic environment (the investment environment) is uncertain, they should have inclination to learn new ways of strategic investment under uncertainty, inroder to behave (decide and act) relatively optimal to achieve desirable profit. This survey results indicate although, the natural and legal investors believe the level of uncertainty is high in current economic environment, effect of this uncertainty on their tendency to learn and apply more modern methods of strategic investments under uncertainty situation and controlling behavioral biases was not proved.

Besides, to rank the factors the Friedman test, to determine the relationship between variables in the general information questionnaire; where a variable is of combinational and Polyhedral type and another variable is of nominal two- sided type, the Cramer's V test were used.
