Memory recall bias of overconfident and underconfident individuals after feedback
Li, King King - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-15
We experimentally investigate the memory recall bias of overconfident (underconfident) individuals after receiving …). Second, awareness of one's overconfidence or underconfidence does not eliminate memory recall bias. Third, the primacy effect … is stronger than the recency effect. Overall, our results suggest that memory recall bias is mainly due to motivated …

Deliberation enhances the confirmation bias in politics
Dickinson, David L. - In: Games 11 (2020) 4/57, pp. 1-25
The confirmation bias, unlike other decision biases, has been shown both empirically and in theory to be enhanced with … this bias. We aimed to test this hypothesis using a validated confirmation bias task in conjunction with a protocol that … confirmation bias would be stronger for WR participants and those higher in cognitive reflection on a sample of 197 young adults …

Contribution-based grouping under noise
Nax, Heinrich H.; Murphy, Ryan O.; Duca, Stefano; … - In: Games 8 (2017) 4, pp. 1-23
Many real-world mechanisms are “noisy” or “fuzzy”, that is the institutions in place to implement them operate with non-negligible degrees of imprecision and error. This observation raises the more general question of whether mechanisms that work in theory are also robust to more...

What behaviors are disapproved? : experimental evidence from five dictator games
López-Pérez, Raúl; Vorsatz, Marc - In: Games 3 (2012) 2, pp. 78-96
The literature on social norms has often stressed that social disapproval is crucial to foster compliance with norms and promote fair and cooperative behavior. With this in mind, we explore the disapproval of allocation decisions using experimental data from five dictator games with a feedback...

Gender differences in repeated dishonest behavior : experimental evidence
Chowdhury, Subhasish M.; Jeon, Joo Young; Kim, Chulyoung; … - In: Games 12 (2021) 2, pp. 1-11
We investigate gender differences in lying behavior when the opportunity to tell lies is repeated. In specific, we distinguish the situations in which such an opportunity can be planned versus when it comes as a surprise. We utilize data from an existing published research and show that when the...

Feature-based choice and similarity perception in normal-form games : an experimental study
Di Guida, Sibilla; Devetag, Giovanna - In: Games 4 (2013) 4, pp. 776-794
In this paper, we claim that agents confronting with new interactive situations apply behavioral heuristics that drastically reduce the problem complexity either by neglecting the other players’ incentives, or by restricting attention to subsets of “salient” outcomes. We postulate that...
