Sleepiness, Choice Consistency, and Risk Preferences
Castillo del Castillo, Marco; Dickinson, David L.; … - 2014
We investigate the consistency and stability of individual risk preferences by manipulating cognitive resources. Participants are randomly assigned to an experiment session at a preferred time of day relative to their diurnal preference (circadian matched) or at a non-preferred time (circadian...

Choice, deferral, and consistency
Costa-Gomes, Miguel A.; Cueva, Carlos; Gerasimou, Georgios - In: Quantitative Economics 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1297-1318
We report on two novel choice experiments with real goods where subjects in one treatment are forced to choose, as is the norm in economic experiments, while in the other they are not but can instead incur a small cost to defer choice. Using a variety of measures, we find that the active choices...

Choice, Deferral and Consistency
Costa-Gomes, Miguel; Cueva, Carlos; Gerasimou, Georgios - School of Economics and Finance, University of St. Andrews - 2014
In this paper we study decision making in situations where the individual's preferences are not assumed to be complete. First, we identify conditions that are necessary and sufficient for choice behavior in general domains to be consistent with maximization of a possibly incomplete preference...

Political Ideology, Mood Response, and the Confirmation Bias
Dickinson, David L. - 2022
The confirmation bias is a well-known form of motivated reasoning that serves to protect an individual from cognitive discomfort. Hearing rival viewpoints or belief-opposing information creates cognitive dissonance, and so avoiding exposure to, or discounting the validity of, dissonant...
