Disappointment in Social Choice Protocols
نویسنده
چکیده
Social choice theory is a theoretical framework for analysis of combining individual preferences, interests, or welfares to reach a collective decision or social welfare in some sense. We introduce a new criterion for social choice protocols called ”social disappointment”. Social disappointment happens when the outcome of a voting system occurs for those alternatives which are at the end of at least half of individual preference profiles. Here we introduce some protocols that prevent social disappointment and prove an impossibility theorem based on this key concept.

متن کاملA Generalized Utility Model of Disappointment and Regret Effects on Post-choice Valuation
In this paper we show that performance information about “forgone” alternatives (i.e., alternative that were considered but not chosen) can have a significant impact on post-choice valuation. Our approach introduces a new and parsimonious way of looking at satisfaction that combines the literature on post-choice valuation with research regarding generalized expected utility theory. While the po...
متن کاملRegret and disappointment in autism spectrum disorders: The matter of thinking versus feeling
In their recent study, Zalla et al. (2014) explore how regret and disappointment are affected in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The study is motivated by previous indications of ASD co-morbidity with emotion processing deficits, as well as suggestions that the mechanisms important for social cognition (typically thought to be affected in ASDs) may also underlie a variety of self-reflective c...
متن کاملCorrecting expected utility for comparisons between alternative outcomes: A unified parameterization of regret and disappointment
A unified parameterization of an expected utility model corrected for regret and disappointment effects is presented, constrained to conform to a wellknown choice pattern, the common consequence effect, a special case of the Allais paradox. For choices subject to regret and disappointment effects to be consistent with this choice pattern, the function that corrects the utility of the obtained o...
متن کاملWhat other's disappointment may do to selfish people: emotion and social value orientation in a negotiation context.
The authors examined whether individual differences in social value orientation moderate responses to other's expressions of disappointment in negotiation. The literature suggested competing hypotheses: First, prosocials are more responsive to other's disappointment because they have a greater concern for other; second, proselfs are more responsive because they see other's disappointment as a t...
