Temptation and the Maintenance of Trust
Levels of trust, defined by how far ahead in earnings each dyad member risked putting the other, were continuously monitored during two-party exchange. Two experiments investigated whether a bilateral punishment capability would enable trust to be maintained when a strong incentive to be untrustworthy (temptation) was introduced. In Experiment I (total subtraction), both persons were provided with a “start over” button that could set the other pe…
Expansion of Exchange
Three experiments employed procedures which allowed trust levels to be continuously monitored during ongoing two-party exchange. Level of trust was behaviorally defined by degree of "expansion" of exchange-that is, by how far ahead in earnings one party put the other. Higher levels of trust were increasingly risky because they resulted in proportionately greater earnings reductions when the other person was untrustworthy (failed to reciprocate). …
Measurement of Behavioral Effects of the CER Procedure
While the disadvantages of absolute measures of the behavioral effects of response rate in the CER procedure are well-known, there are several often unrecognized difficulties with the use of suppression ratios, the most serious relating to changes in pre-S 1 response rates and to non-uniformity of response rate in the presence of S 1 . Several alternative metrics either describing the response pattern in S 1 or focusing on some specific component…
Effects of CS Presence and Duration on Suppression of Positively Reinforced Responding in the Rat
The variable of CS duration preceding unavoidable electric shock was investigated with rats as Ss. For the 6 durations examined from 3.75 to 60 sec, suppression of positively reinforced bar-pressing in the presence of CS was complete. While response suppression between CS presentations was initially severe, it gradually dissipated as the experiment progressed. A separate group of rats received unavoidable shocks not preceded by a stimulus. Genera…
