📢 New (economics) preprint 📢

(with Jiaxin Yu)

Excited to share our study on the cooperation in the infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma, where we use payoff manipulations and all kinds of methods to disentangle strategies, beliefs, and preferences: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

📢 New preprint 📢
(with Daniil Luzyanin)

We use a new task to distinguish between the instantaneous and instrumental (goal-oriented) value of the same choice option in the brain using fMRI: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It turns out that these choices can be rationalized by the Charness-Rabin social preferences......unless you manipulate the stakes a bit. In two alternative treatments, cooperation rates decrease over time; we then introduce a generalized version of the Charness-Rabin function.

🚨 New preprint 🚨

"Unrewarded Cooperation" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Remember the poll that went viral in 2023?

We reproduced these results using real monetary rewards in an online lab experiment (sorry, no life and death).

🚨 New paper 🚨

Out in @commspsychol.bsky.social: "Manipulating attention facilitates cooperation" with Claire Lugrin and @ccruff.bsky.social

We use gaze data and display manipulations in one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma games and find that these manipulations can drive choices through attention 👇

In a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game, manipulating the location of payout information on computer screens changed participants’ gaze pattern sequences and resulted in greater cooperation when more focus was given to others’ outcomes.

Not really following the migration to Bsky - how did I suddenly get followed by many people? Is there some migration service or list?
