Behavioral game theory seeks to examine how people's strategic decision-making behavior is shaped by social preferences, social utility and other psychological factors. [1] Behavioral game theory analyzes interactive strategic decisions and behavior using the methods of game theory, [2] experimental economics, and experimental psychology.
Evolutionary game theory has been used to explain many seemingly incongruous phenomena in nature. [122] One such phenomenon is known as biological altruism. This is a situation in which an organism appears to act in a way that benefits other organisms and is detrimental to itself.
Each behavioural change theory or model focuses on different factors in attempting to explain behaviour change. Of the many that exist, the most prevalent are learning theories, social cognitive theory, theories of reasoned action and planned behaviour, transtheoretical model of behavior change, the health action process approach, and the BJ Fogg model of behavior change.
There is no evidence which suggests that zero-sum thinking is an enduring feature of human psychology. Game-theoretic situations rarely apply to instances of individual behaviour. This is demonstrated by the ordinary response to the prisoner's dilemma. Zero-sum thinking is the result of both proximate and ultimate causes.
Behavior modification is a treatment approach that uses respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. Based on methodological behaviorism, [1] overt behavior is modified with (antecedent) stimulus control and consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, as well as positive and negative punishment, and extinction to reduce ...
For example, in Cult of the Lamb, one half of the game is a roguelike hack-n-slash system which the player can use to gather resources, which are then used in the game's other half, a settlement management simulation. By advancing the settlement, the player can unlock more powerful weapons and abilities in the hack-and-slash and reach more ...
The dictator game is a popular experimental instrument in social psychology and economics, [1] a derivative of the ultimatum game. The term "game" is a misnomer because it captures a decision by a single player: to send money to another or not. [2] Thus, the dictator has the most power and holds the preferred position in this “game.”
Cognitive hierarchy theory (CHT) is a behavioral model originating in behavioral economics and game theory that attempts to describe human thought processes in strategic games. CHT aims to improve upon the accuracy of predictions made by standard analytic methods (including backwards induction and iterated elimination of dominated strategies ...
