A Conceptual Review of Decision Making in Social Dilemmas
Despite decades of experimental social dilemma research, “theoretical integration has proven elusive” (Smithson & Foddy, 1999, p. 14). To advance a theory of decision making in social dilemmas, this article provides a conceptual review of the literature that applies a “logic of appropriateness” (March, 1994) framework. The appropriateness framework suggests that people making decisions ask themselves (explicitly or implicitly), “What does a perso…

Frequentistic adverbs as measures of egocentric biases
Research by Messick et al. (1985) concerning the egocentric fairness bias was replicated using linguistic choices rather than rating scales. Subjects were asked to choose from among six frequency quantifiers to describe the estimated frequency of moral and immoral behaviours as performed by ‘I’ or ‘Other people’. Results replicate the dual slope phenomenon found by previous researchers. Subjects chose quantifiers referring to higher frequencies w…
Detecting salary discrimination against male and female managers
This paper reports two experiments that examine factors influencing the detection of salary discrimination in organizations. Subjects were presented with information about the qualifications and salaries of female and male managers in 10 departments of an hypothetical company and were asked to judge the fairness of these salaries. It was hypothesized that the amount of information and the format in which it is presented influence fairness judgmen…

Negotiation as a Social Process
A collection of 14 studies emphasizing the social dimensions of negotiation as a means of reducing the domination of the field by cognitive approaches. Among the topics are an information-processing perspective on the social context in negotiation, social factors that make freedom unattractive and more

Equality, fairness, and social conflict
Psychological Perspectives on Justice
Justice, equity, and fairness are central concerns of everyday life, whether we are assessing the fairness of individual acts, social programmes, or institutional policies. This book explores how the distribution of costs and benefits determine our intuition about fairness and why individual behaviour sometimes deviates from normative theories of justice. To make any comparison, one must first state how fair distributions of resources or burdens …
Group size uncertainty in shared resource use
Prior work on the use of shared or common resources has studied the impact of uncertainty about the amount of resource available to a group, environmental uncertainty, and uncertainty about the behavior of others, social uncertainty. This paper examines yet another source of uncertainty, that pertaining to the number of participants. We call this group size uncertainty. After contrasting group size uncertainty with environmental uncertainty, we d…
Computer Simulations of the Relation Between Individual Heuristics and Global Cooperation in Prisoner's Dilemmas
In this paper we explore the aggregate consequences of three simple individual choice rules in a simulated society in which the interaction between pairs of actors is constituted as a Pnsoner's Dilemma (PDG). After several simulations under different conditions, the most important conclusion is that in highly competitive PDG settings, using a competitive type of social comparison for performance evaluation, cooperative behavior is maintained in l…
Social Decision Heuristics in the Use of Shared Resources
The goals of the present study were (1) to demonstrate again that subjects in social decision tasks involving shared resources cannot be modelled as strategic money maximizers, and (2) to investigate further factors that affect the use of what we have called social decision heuristics. Subjects were led to believe that they were the first of six group members to extract points from a common pool of points. Each point extracted could possibly be e…

On Being Better but not Smarter than Others
Past research suggests that people believe that they perform socially desirable behaviors more frequently and socially undesirable behaviors less frequently than others (Goethals, 1986; Messick, Bloom, Boldizar, & Samuelson, 1985). The present research examined whether this perception also characterizes people's thinking about intelligent and unintelligent behaviors. In Study 1, subjects wrote lists of behaviors that they or others did. Subjects …

Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Foreign Aid Deservingness Decisions
This study presents a conceptual model that describes how aid deservingness decisions are made. The model contains the three concepts of need, similarity, and estimated effectiveness. The model also includes an interaction component involving need and similarity. Two variables were used to operationalize each of the three concepts. A total of 136 subjects from the Netherlands, Japan, and the United States were asked to rate 96 stimulus countries …

Individual and structural solutions to resource dilemmas in two cultures
Administered a resource management task to 86 US and 97 Dutch undergraduates. Ss were divided into groups of 6 and instructed to harvest points from a regenerating resource pool. Their objective was to maximize individual harvests while maintaining the resource pool. The factorial design crossed 3 levels of resource use (overuse, underuse, and optimal use) with 2 levels of variance of others' purported harvests (low and high). Both variables were…

Estimating social and nonsocial utility functions from ordinal data
This paper reports an experiment testing two hypotheses. The first is that the value or utility associated with a payment to one's self and a payment to a co‐worker can be represented as an additive function of a utility for own payment (nonsocial utility) and a utility for the difference between own and other's payment (social utility). The second hypothesis is that changes in the amount of work accomplished by one's self and/or the other should…

Inequities in access to and use of shared resources in social dilemmas
In this study we investigated the effects of inequities in access to and use of shared resources on harvest decisions and preferences for structural change in resource dilemmas. Subjects, in groups of six, harvested resource units from a common, replenishable resource pool over 10 trials. Following the harvest trials, subjects were asked to vote on how to conduct the second session. The variables in this 2x2x2 factorial design were (a) access to …

Parent-Child Profile Similarity and Aggression
This investigation was directed toward studying the relationship between parent-child personality similarity and adolescent aggression and to illustrate the utility of a general method of assessing profile similarity suggested by Overall (1964). Peer and teacher ratings of aggression were used to group eighth-grade boys on manifest aggression. Ss and their parents (volunteers) were administered the MMPI. The d ∗ measure of dissimilarity was used …

Some Cheap Tricks for Making Inferences about Distribution Shapes from Variances
Formulae and graphs are presented that allow one to compute the variances of three prototypical distributions over a finite number of categories. The distributions are (1) the maximum variance distribution, (2) the uniform distribution, and (3) a unimodal triangular distribution. The use of the variances of these prototypical distributions to make inferences about distribution shapes is illustrated with several examples
