Constructive competition
Winner-take-all tournaments may have the advantage of raising the motivation to do one’s best, but also the disadvantage of jeopardizing cooperation. Such tournaments can be costly in terms of loss of cooperation, and we ask: Are there conditions under which they don’t have these negative effects? Can competition be calibrated to be compatible with subsequent cooperation? There is one theory that deals with this question: the theory of constructi…
How do personality traits affect the formation of friendship and preference-for-collaboration networks
Intuitively, personality traits may shape friendships differently from academic connections, potentially influencing social support development. Yet, this remains understudied, while it is crucial for student's wellbeing. Therefore, this study investigates how the personality traits of the Five-Factor Model interact with the role friendships and preferred collaboration relationships. In a sample of 95 university students, socio-centric data were …
Who influences lower-status individuals more
People are influenced by members of high-status groups and members of their ingroup. These principles of "status orientation" and "ingroup orientation" can imply opposing forces for people of lower status. Are lower-status individuals more influenced by members of higher-status outgroups or by members of their lower-status ingroup? Engaging status characteristics theory and self-categorization theory, we predict that status orientation is relativ…
Everybody herds, sometimes
We propose a model of cumulative advantage (CA) as an unintended consequence of the choices of a population of individuals. Each individual searches for a high quality object from a set comprising high and low quality objects. Individuals rationally learn from their own experience with objects (reinforcement learning) and from the observation of others’ choices (social learning). We show that CA emerges inexorably as individuals rely more on soci…
A Bad Barrel Spoils a Good Apple
Meritocratic matching solves the problem of cooperation by ensuring that only prosocial agents group together while excluding proselfs who are less inclined to cooperate. However, matching is less e ective when estimations of individual merit rely on group-level outcomes. Prosocials in uncooperative groups are unable to change the nature of the group and are themselves forced to defect to avoid exploitation. They are then indistinguishable from p…
Comparing the Slider Measure of Social Value Orientation with Its Main Alternatives
The Slider Measure of social value orientation (SVO) was introduced as an improvement from existing measures. We conduct an independent assessment of its suitability compared with the Ring Measure and the Triple Dominance Measure. Using a student sample, we assess the measures’ test-retest reliability (N = 88; using a longer time interval than previous studies) and sensitivity to random responses. Analyses pertaining to convergent validity, crite…
