Bracht, Jürgen; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

We analyse two types of belief-dependant models of social preferences: guilt aversion and reciprocity.

More than outcomes: A cognitive dissonance-based explanation of other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
Recent research has cast some doubt on the general validity of outcome-based models of social preferences. We develop a model based on cognitive dissonance that focuses on the importance of self-image. An experiment (a dictator game variant) tests the model. First, we find that subjects whose...

Charitable Giving Among Females and Males: An Empirical Test of the Competitive Altruism Hypothesis
Böhm, Robert; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
We conduct a real-effort task experiment where subjects' performance translates into a donation to a charity. In a within-subjects design we vary the visibility of the donation (no/private/public feedback). Confirming previous studies, we find that subjects' performance increases, that is, they...

Self-Image and Moral Balancing - An Experimental Analysis
Ploner, Matteo.; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
In our experiment, a dictator game variant, the reported outcome of a die roll determines the endowment (low/high) in a subsequent dictator game. In one treatment the experimenter is present and no cheating is possible, while in another subjects can enter the result of the roll themselves. Moral...

Do I really want to know? A cognitive dissonance-based explanation of other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We investigate to what extent genuine social preferences can explain observed other-regarding behavior. In a dictator game variant subjects can choose whether to learn about the consequences of their choice for the receiver. We find that a majority of subjects showing other-regarding behavior...

Determinants of In-group Bias: Group Affiliation or Guilt-aversion?
Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008
In-group favoritism in social dilemma situations is one of the main findings of studies in Social Identity Theory. We investigate what causes the in-group bias: is it due to mere group affiliation or, alternatively, is guilt-aversion a possible explanation? We induce group membership in a...
