The development of interpersonal strategy: Autism, theory-of-mind, cooperation and fairness
Risky speech: Behavioral Game Theory and Pragmatics
What an Ugly Baby: Risk Dominance, Sympathy, and the Coordination of Meaning
The understanding of coordination games has increased greatly over the last thirty years through advances in game theory and tests in experimental economics laboratories. A given utterance, of necessity, is a puzzle and creates a coordination game of meaning. The solution principles used in this game should be consistent with those found in all coordination games, and can explain certain elements of pragmatics: in particular, when a speaker can s…
A general theory of sympathy, mind-reading, and social interaction, with an application to the Prisoners' Dilemma
A theory of sympathy is advanced, based on the insights of theorists such as Hume, Smith, Cooley, Mead, and Heider, and drawing on modern findings in sociology and social psychology. The process of identifying with another person is determined by the perception of distance from the other, may involve non-conscious imitation, and leads to an enlarged self-interest. The core of the theory is a model balancing physical distance, psychological simila…
Gifts with Strings Attached: A Comment on Simon
Julian Simon attempts to model the homology between intertemporal and interpersonal allocations of resources, that is, saving and gift giving However, he sacrifices too much in his attempt to fit the relevant phenomena into his proposed analytic framework A more convincing model than Simon's would include two elements he explicitly avoids: auxiliary psychological phenomena (such as enjoyment of the act of pledging itself) and the analysis of stra…
Conversation and Cooperation in Social Dilemmas: A Meta-Analysis of Experiments from 1958 to 1992
This article presents an analysis of 35 years of published experiments testing decision making in prisoners' dilemmas. The objective is to begin to reconnect the theory and the evidence of rational behavior by accumulating the experience of the laboratory and examining this record for those factors that consistently altered subjects' choices. It is shown that a model of pure self-interest is usually inconsistent with the results of experimental d…
