Cooperating, fast and slow : testing the social heuristics hypothesis
Strømland, Eirik; Tjøtta, Sigve; Torsvik, Gaute - 2016
Heuristics Hypothesis (SHH) proposes that fast instinctive decision making promotes cooperation in social dilemmas. In this paper …, we conduct a novel time-pressure experiment to shed light on the cognitive underpinnings of cooperation. Although we find … finding that fast and intuitive decision making promotes cooperation. Given payoff comprehension, the SHH predicts behavior …

Increasing Altruistic and Cooperative Behaviour with Simple Moral Nudges
Capraro, Valerio - 2019
The conflict between pro-self and pro-social behaviour is at the core of many key problems of our time, as, for example, the reduction of air pollution and the redistribution of scarce resources. For the well-being of our societies, it is thus crucial to find mechanisms to promote pro-social...

Lab-sophistication : does repeated participation in laboratory experiments affect pro-social behaviour?
Medda, Tiziana; Pelligra, Vittorio; Reggiani, Tommaso - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/18, pp. 1-14
Experimental social scientists working at research-intensive institutions deal inevitably with subjects who have most likely participated in previous experiments. It is an important methodological question to know whether participants that have acquired a high level of lab-sophistication show...

Efficient coordination in weakest-link games
Riedl, Arno; Rohde, Ingrid M. T.; Strobel, Martin - 2011
Existing experimental research on behavior in weakest-link games shows overwhelmingly the inability of people to coordinate on the efficient equilibrium, especially in larger groups. We hypothesize that people will be able to coordinate on efficient outcomes, provided they have sufficient...

Cognitive hierarchies and the centipede game
Bottero, Margherita - 2010
In the present work, I adopt the cognitive hierarchy approach to analyze the centipede game. To this end, I present and study an extensive-form version of Camerer et al.'s (2004) original normal-form model. The resulting predictions are evaluated empirically using laboratory data borrowed from a...
