Moral Emotions and Partnership
Bracht, Jürgen; Regner, Tobias - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
Actual behaviour is influenced in important ways by moral emotions, for instance guilt or shame (see, among others, Tangney et al., 2007). Belief-dependant models of social preferences using the framework of psychological games aim to consider such emotions to explain other-regarding behaviour....

Other-regarding behaviour: Testing guilt- and reciprocity-based models
Regner, Tobias; Harth, Nicole S. - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We analyse two types of belief-dependant models of social preferences: guilt aversion and reciprocity. In particular …, we test the relevance of their input variables (second-order beliefs and general dispositions for guilt/reciprocity). The … data confirm the predictions of belief-dependant models. Both second-order beliefs and a participant's sensitivity to guilt/reciprocity …

Casari, Marco; Cason, Timothy N. - Krannert School of Management, Purdue University - 2012
Experimental evidence has accumulated highlighting the limitations of formal and explicit contracts in certain situations, and has identified environments in which informal and implicit contracts are more efficient. This paper documents the superior performance of explicit over implicit...

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...

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...

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...
