  • Poverty is associated with both risk avoidance and risk taking: An empirical test of the desperation threshold model

    Benoît De Courson, Willem Frankenhuis et al.PREPRINT2024

    In situations of poverty, do people take more or less risk? Some theories state that poverty makes people 'vulnerable': they cannot buffer against losses, and therefore avoid risk. Yet, other theories state the opposite: poverty makes people 'desperate': they have little left to lose, and therefore take risks. Each theory has some support: most studies find a negative association between resources and risk taking, but risky behaviors such as crim…

  • Why is violence high and persistent in deprived communities? A formal model

    Benoît De Courson, Willem Frankenhuis et al.PREPRINT2022

    There is massive variation in rates of violence across time and space. These rates are positively associated with economic deprivation and inequality. They also tend to display a degree of local persistence, or ‘enduring neighbourhood effects’. Here, we identify a single mechanism that can produce all three observations. We formalise it in a mathematical model, which specifies how individual-level processes generate the population-level patterns.…

  • Biology, society, or choice: How do non-experts interpret explanations of behaviour

    D Nettle, Willem Frankenhuis et al.PREPRINT2022

    Explanations for human behaviour can be framed in many different ways, from the social-structural context to the individual motivation down to the neurobiological implementation. We know comparatively little about how people interpret these explanatory framings, and what they infer when one framing rather than another is made salient. In four experiments, UK general-population volunteers read vignettes describing the same behaviour, but using dif…

    We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social and behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users to complete the form and generate a report that they can submit with their manuscript or post to a public repository
