Zusammenfassung:The study aims to investigate the determinants factors of overconfidence in accounting students who are enrolled in four higher education institutions located in the city of Natal-RN. Through a descriptive, survey and quantitative research, questionnaires were applied in loco to 395 students, which are composed of two sections: (i) respondents profile and (ii) identification of the overconfidence bias, based on Pompian (2006), with the purpose of verifying each participant's overconfidence index (OI). The OI was used as a dependent variable for the proposed model of identification of determinant factors of overconfidence degree, using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Beta regressions. The main results demonstrate that the study participants are generally vulnerable to making decisions being overconfident in their available information. In addition, the results obtained in the regressions show that the variables: age, male gender, married and divorced individuals, employees and entrepreneurs in relation to the occupation, as well as students who earn income above nine minimum wages can be considered as determinant factors for the overconfidence degree.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar os fatores determinantes do excesso de confianca em estudantes de Ciencias Contabeis matriculados em quatro instituicoes de ensino superior localizadas na cidade de Natal-RN. Atraves de uma pesquisa descritiva, survey e quantitativa, foram aplicados questionarios presencialmente a 395 estudantes, sendo estes compostos por duas secoes: (i) perfil dos respondentes e (ii) identificacao do vies excesso de confianca, elaborado com base em Pompian (2006), com o intuito de verificar o indice de excesso de confianca (IEC) de cada participante. O IEC foi utilizado como variavel dependente para o modelo proposto de identificacao de fatores determinantes do grau de excesso de confianca, utilizando-se as regressoes por Minimos Quadrados Ordinarios (MQO) e Beta. Os principais resultados demonstram que os participantes do estudo se apresentam, de forma geral, vulneraveis a tomar decisoes sendo excessivamente confiantes em suas informacoes disponiveis. Alem disso, os resultados obtidos nas regressoes demonstram que as variaveis: idade, genero masculino, os individuos casados e divorciados, empregados e empresarios em relacao a ocupacao, bem com os discentes que auferem renda acima de nove salarios minimos pode
