(Over)-stylizing experimental findings and theorizing with sweeping generality
Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut; Levati, M. Vittoria - 2008
Human decision making is a process guided by different and partly competing mo-tivations that can each dominate behavior and lead to different effects depending on strength and circumstances. "Over-stylizingʺ neglects such competing concerns and context-dependence, although it facilitates the...

Immorality judgments and framing effects in voluntary payment settings
Hofmann, Elisa; Bolesta, Deliah; Adra, Aya - 2023
The Theory of Dyadic Morality (TDM; Schein and Gray (2018)) posits that immorality judgments emerge from norm violations, harm perceptions, and negative affect. We test this core prediction in an applied setting: voluntary payment settings, such as the Pay-What-You-Want mechanism. In our study,...

Levati, Maria Vittoria; Miettinen, Topi; Rai, Birendra K. - 2010
