Asymmetric dominance and phantom decoy effects in games
In individual choices between alternatives x and y, the availability of a third alternative z, judged inferior to x but not to y, tends to increase preferences for x. Two experiments investigated corresponding strategic asymmetric dominance effects in games. In Experiment 1, 72 players chose strategies in six symmetric 3 · 3 games, each having one strategy dominating just one other, or in reduc...
متن کاملTesting Alternative Explanations of Phantom Decoy Effects
Phantom decoys are alternatives that asymmetrically dominate a targeted alternative and yet lead to increased selection of the target when the decoy is declared to be unavailable. This effect is difficult to explain within most standard theoretical accounts of decoy effects. The current experiments tested between three explanations of this effect: (1) the relative advantage model based on loss ...
متن کاملThe Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making 1 RUNNING HEAD: The Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making The Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making
A phantom decoy is an alternative that is superior to another “target” option, but is unavailable at the time of choice. In value-based decisions involving phantom decoys (e.g., consumer choices), individuals often show increased preference for the similar, inferior target option over a non-dominated competitor alternative. Unlike value-based decisions that are driven by subjective goals, perce...
متن کاملCollective strategies and cyclic dominance in asymmetric predator-prey spatial games.
Predators may attack isolated or grouped prey in a cooperative, collective way. Whether a gregarious behavior is advantageous to each species depends on several conditions and game theory is a useful tool to deal with such a problem. We here extend the Lett et al. (2004) to spatially distributed populations and compare the resulting behavior with their mean-field predictions for the coevolving ...
متن کاملConfirmatory Search and Asymmetric Dominance
Decisionmakers use confirmatory search strategies in judgment tasks. As a result of this, their attention towards task-relevant cues is biased in favor of cues supporting available responses. Changing these responses can alter the cues used in the judgment task and, subsequently, alter beliefs. We use this mechanism to predict and explain the emergence of the asymmetric dominance effect in judg...
