Physiological responses to proposals during dyadic decision-making conversations

Hippocampal Damage Increases Deontological Responses during Moral Decision Making

Complex moral decision making is associated with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) in humans, and damage to this region significantly increases the frequency of utilitarian judgments. Since the vmPFC has strong anatomical and functional links with the hippocampus, here we asked how patients with selective bilateral hippocampal damage would derive moral decisions on a classic moral dile...

Dyadic Alliance Governance Structures and Product Innovation Project Decision-Making

Product innovation within strategic alliances differs from product innovation within firms due to coordination problems with respect to decision making. This exploratory study, drawing on alliance research, strategic decisionmaking research and product innovation literature explains these problems at the level of product innovation projects in dyadic strategic alliances. In particular, the empi...

Automatic dominance detection in dyadic conversations

Dominance is referred to the level of influence that a person has in a conversation. Dominance is an important research area in social psychology, but the problem of its automatic estimation is a very recent topic in the contexts of social and wearable computing. In this paper, we focus on the dominance detection of visual cues. We estimate the correlation among observers by categorizing the do...

Confidence in Dyadic Decision Making: The Role of Individual Differences

Groups typically express more confidence than individuals, yet how individual-level confidence combines during collaborative decision tasks is not well understood. We prescreened 686 community members using a novel confidence measure (a true/false trivia test) intentionally designed to be difficult (accuracy rates were not significantly better than chance) and randomly assigned 72 individuals t...
