Preferences, goals and implications for paternalism
This paper proposes a conceptual model of decision-making tying specific preferences to broader individual goals. Specifically, we consider terminal goals, representing fundamental objectives, and instrumental goals, serving as complexity-reducing intermediate steps toward achieving terminal goals and determining eventual preferences. Notably, the hierarchical goal structure allows for contextual misalignments between different instrumental goals…
Welfare Conditionality and Social Identity Effect Mechanisms and the Case of Immigrant Support
The present paper discusses the effects of social identity and self-determination theory and highlights their relevance for welfare conditionality with respect to individual behaviour and well-being. While welfare conditionality may provide economic incentives for certain desired behaviours, e.g., active job search, it is argued that their impact on the claimants’ social self-construal and identity may offset potentially positive effects and incr…
A real effort vs. standard public goods experiment
This paper reports results from an exploratory experimental study (N = 181) comparing an effort based public good game to a standard public good game — each presented in a gain and a loss frame. The data show lower average contributions and more free-riders in the effort treatments, with the most notable effect showing for men in the loss frame (comparing standard vs. effort, contributions drop from 76.7% to 17.0%, free-riders increase from 8.3% …
Nudging
Conflicting identities
This paper connects insights from the literature on cosmopolitan worldviews and the effects of perspective-taking in political science, (intergroup) anxiety in social psychology, and identity economics in a vignette-style experiment. In particular, we asked German respondents about their attitudes towards a Syrian refugee, randomizing components of his description (N = 662). The main treatment describes the refugee as being aware of and empatheti…
Welfare justifications and responsibility in political decision making - The case of Nudging
Nudging, i.e. the framing of decision environments to exploit known behavioral biases in order to induce certain outcomes, has received considerable attention as a potential policy tool in recent years. Motivated as preserving freedom of choice while making people better off according to their own judgment, nudging seemingly comes at fairly little responsibility for the nudger, i.e. policy makers, regarding eventual behavior. We argue that this i…
Mine or ours? Unintended framing effects in dictator games
This paper reports results from a classroom dictator game comparing the effects of three different sets of standard instructions. The results show that seemingly small and typically unreported differences in standard instructions induce different perceptions regarding entitlement and ownership of the money to be distributed, and that these perceptions influence behaviour. Less is given when the task is described as a task of generosity and more w…
Measuring individual risk attitudes in the lab
Personal values and prosocial behaviour in strategic interactions
Relying on the framework provided by Schwartz's theory of personal values, we investigated whether values can help explain prosocial behaviour. We first distinguished value‐expressive behaviours from value‐ambivalent behaviours. The former are compatible with primarily one value or with congruent values, the latter with mutually conflicting values. In Study 1, an analysis over all 41 (39 unpublished) samples in which we measured personal values a…
