  • Precommitment in Stochastic Versus Deterministic Social Dilemmas

    Open AccessDavid J Hardisty, Amir Sepehri et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2025References: 7

    Many real‐world social dilemmas require interdependent people to repeatedly protect against a large loss that has a low probability of occurring. Examples include protecting against disease outbreak (e.g., COVID‐19), terrorism (shared border security), or extreme weather events (from climate change). Decisions on whether to invest in protection may be made period by period (e.g., month by month), or investment may be precommitted in advance for a…

  • Comment on Trendler’s (2019) “Conjoint measurement undone”

    Open AccessDavid H Krantz, David Krantz et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2019

    Most of Trendler’s (2019) article, “Conjoint measurement undone,” seems wrong to us. We explain why we disagree completely with two of his assertions: (a) that cardinal measurement scales are absent in psychology and (b) that psychology has stagnated. We share three of his other concerns, but not his perspectives on them or the supposed links among them. These three points are: (a) fewer applications of additive conjoint measurement than initiall…

  • The Role of Subsidies in Coordination Games with Interconnected Risk

    Open AccessMin Gong, Geoffrey Heal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2014References: 5

    Can subsidies promote Pareto‐optimum coordination? We found that partially subsidizing the cooperative actions for two out of six players in a laboratory coordination game usually produced better coordination and higher total social welfare with both deterministic and stochastic payoffs. Not only were the subsidized players more likely to cooperate (choose the Pareto‐optimum action), but the unsubsidized players increased their expectations on ho…

  • Judging the strength of designated evidence

    Open AccessLaura K Briggs, David H Krantz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…1992

    Judgments of evidence strength were obtained in a series of vignettes, each containing one or two items of evidence for each of two logically independent hypotheses. Each judgment concerned a designated subset of the presented evidence. Different groups of subjects encountered different but overlapping sets of evidence. We compared groups that judged the same designated evidence for the same hypothesis, but differed in exposure to surrounding (no…

  • Conflicts with authority

    Lila G Braine, Eva M Pomerantz et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1991Cited by: 7References: 3

    Children's views of authority interactions were examined in 144 children from 6 to 11 years of age. Vignettes describing everyday conflicts between children and adult authorities (parent, teacher, police, lifeguard, store manager, and librarian) were used. A subjects factor was introduced into the log-linear analyses. The children were reported as feeling bad, as complying, and as anticipating negative consequences for noncompliance. There was a …

  • The use of statistical heuristics in everyday inductive reasoning.

    Richard E Nisbett, David H Krantz et al.ARTICLEPsychological Review1983

    In reasoning about everyday problems, people use statistical heuristics, that is, judgmental tools that are rough intuitive equivalents of statistical principles. Statistical heuristics have improved historically and they improve ontogenetically. Use of statistical heuristics is more likely when (a) the sample space and the sampling process are clear, (b) the role of chance in producing events is clear, or (c) the culture specifies statistical re…

  • Fundamental Measurement of Force and Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion

    Open AccessDavid H Krantz, David KrantzARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1973Cited by: 2References: 2

    The measurement of force is based on a formal law of additivity, which characterizes the effects of two or more configurations on the equilibrium of a material point. The representing vectors (resultant forces) are additive over configurations. The existence of a tight interrelation between the force vector and the geometric space, in which motion is described, depends on observations of partial (directional) equilibria; an axiomatization of this…

  • Extensive Measurement in Semiorders

    Open AccessDavid H Krantz, David KrantzARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1967Cited by: 5References: 2

    In both axiomatic theories and the practice of extensive measurement, it is assumed that a series of replicas of any given object can be found. The replicas give rise to a standard series, the “multiples” of the given object. The numerical value assigned to any object is determined, approximately, by comparisons with members of a suitable standard series. This prescription introduces unspecified errors, if the comparison process is somewhat insen…
