More than outcomes : the role of self-image in other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2014
We conduct a modified dictator game in order to analyze the role self-image concerns play in other-regarding behavior. While we generally follow Konow (2000), a cognitive dissonance-based model of other-regarding behavior in dictator games, we relax one of its assumptions as we allow for...

More than outcomes: A cognitive dissonance-based explanation of other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 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...

We find that higher test scores … on the Cognitive Reflection Test of Frederick (2005) indeed are correlated with lower incidences of the conjunction …
