From charm to conflict
Narcissism is a dynamic, normally distributed trait ranging from nonpathological to pathological expressions, with narcissistic personality disorder representing its extreme. Its complex interpersonal dynamics and paradoxical social outcomes underscore the need of uncovering its underlying mechanisms. However, experimental investigations face methodological constraints, making simulation-such as agent-based modeling (ABM)-a valuable alternative f…
A systemic decision-making model for energy retrofits
In most European countries, the energy retrofit dynamics remain too low to meet the climate mitigation goals, despite all existing policies. While the literature is rich in articles about barriers to energy retrofit, little is known about the systemic reasons why homeowners decide against it. The complex decision-making process of homeowners involving energy retrofits is analysed by combining psychology and complexity science modelling. The psych…
Reduced contextual influence on decision conflict during delay discounting persists after weight-restoration in anorexia nervosa
Prior research has investigated whether the capacity of individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) to forgo food rewards in their pursuit of thinness may manifest as more delayed gratification in delay discounting tasks, but results have been mixed. In a previous study examining mouse-cursor movement trajectories during a delay discounting task, underweight patients with AN made similar decisions relative to healthy controls, but displayed more stabl…
Choice Repetition Bias in Intertemporal Choice
Intertemporal choices (i.e., the choice between a sooner available but smaller reward and a later available but larger reward) were initially thought to reflect stable preferences for immediate or delayed rewards. However, recently, it has been shown that intertemporal choices are influenced by factors such as context variables and attentional processes. Here, we investigate if another factor, the choice repetition bias, affects decision making a…
A picture is worth a thousand words
In food choices, conflict arises when choosing between a healthy, but less tasty food item and a tasty, but less healthy food item. The underlying assumption is that people trade-off the health and taste properties of food items to reach a decision. To probe this assumption, we presented food items either as colored images (image condition, e.g. photograph of a granola bar) or as pre-matched percentages of taste and health values (text condition,…
The role of inhibitory control and decision-making in the course of Internet gaming disorder
Using mouse cursor tracking to investigate online cognition
Mouse cursor tracking has become a prominent method for characterizing cognitive processes, used in a wide variety of domains of psychological science. Researchers have demonstrated considerable ingenuity in the application of the approach, but the methodology has not undergone systematic analysis to facilitate the development of best practices. Furthermore, recent research has demonstrated effects of experimental design features on a number of m…
Forward inference in risky choice
The study of cognitive processes is built on a close mapping between three components: overt gaze behavior, overt choice, and covert processes. To validate this overt–covert mapping in the domain of decision‐making, we collected eye‐movement data during decisions between risky gamble problems. Applying a forward inference paradigm, participants were instructed to use specific decision strategies to solve those gamble problems (maximizing expected…
Approach-motivated positive affect reduces breadth of attention
A model of “substance” and “evaluation” in person judgments
For decades, person perception research has grappled with the distinction between the targets’ actual characteristics (“substance”) and how positively or negatively those characteristics are viewed by perceivers (“evaluation”); however, lack of an overarching theoretical framework makes it difficult to establish connections between related lines of research. We review the relevant literature, and present and test an algebraic model that incorpora…
