Negotiators' cognition: An experimental study on bilateral, integrative negotiation
Reina, Livia - 2003
Many negotiations offer a potential for integrative agreements in which the parties can maximize joint gains (through logrolling) without competing for resources as in a 0-sum game; nevertheless negotiators often fail to exploit this potential and settle for suboptimal, distributive agreements....

Coalition formation in multilateral negotiations with a potential for logrolling: An experimental analysis of negotiators' cognition processes
Lehmann-Waffenschmidt, Marco; Reina, Livia - 2003
In the present study we analyse the topic of coalition formation in multi-issue multilateral negotiations under different voting rules when there is the opportunity of logrolling. We have carried out 3 experiments and compare our findings with the standard public choice theory predictions. In...

Cognitive Abilities and Behavioral Biases
Oechssler, Jörg; Roider, Andreas; Schmitz, Patrick W. - 2009
We use a simple, three-item test for cognitive abilities to investigate whether established behavioral biases that play … a prominent role in behavioral economics and finance are related to cognitive abilities. We find that higher test scores … on the Cognitive Reflection Test of Frederick (2005) indeed are correlated with lower incidences of the conjunction …

Cognition and behavior in two-person guessing games: An experimental study
Costa-Gomes, Miguel A.; Crawford, Vincent P. - 2004
This paper reports experiments that elicit subjects' initial responses to 16 dominancesolvable two-person guessing games. The structure is publicly announced except for varying payoff parameters, to which subjects are given free access, game by game, through an interface that records their...

Is observed other-regarding behavior always genuine?
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2007
We investigate to what extent genuine social preferences can explain observed other-regarding behavior. In a social dilemma situation (a dictator game variant), people can choose whether to learn about the consequences of their choice for the receiver. We find that a majority of the people that...

Being of two minds: an ultimatum experiment investigating affective processes
Cappelletti, Dominique; Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo - 2008
We experimentally investigate how affective processes influence proposers' and responders' behaviour in the Ultimatum Game. Using a dualsystem approach, we tax cognitive resources through time pressure and cognitive load to enhance the influence of affective processes on behaviour. We find that...

Multiple-reason decision making based on automatic processing
Glöckner, Andreas; Betsch, Tilmann - 2008
It has been repeatedly shown that in decisions under time constraints, individuals predominantly use noncompensatory strategies rather than complex compensatory ones. We argue that these findings might be due not to limitations of cognitive capacity but instead to limitations of information...

Construction of probabilistic inferences by constraint satisfaction?
Glöckner, Andreas; Betsch, Tilmann; Schindler, Nicola - 2008
It has been shown that in decision making evaluations of evidence and attributes are modified. In three studies it was investigated if this finding of coherence shifts generalizes to real-world probabilistic inference decisions which are made from given probabilistic cues. Using a...
