The Ultimatum Game: a Study in Social Systems Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fact that the classical game-theoretic solution to the Ultimatum game is not a good model of actual human social behavior casts doubt on the validity of the classical solution concept of individual rationality. Satisficing game theory provides a framework within which complex social environments such as compromise, negotiation, and altruism can be explicitly modeled, and offers an alternative solution concept for the Ultimatum game that is more consistent with social behavior. Rather than being exogenously dictated, a coherent concept of both group and individual behavior can emerge as the individuals interact.

Social Preference, Incomplete Information, and the Evolution of Ultimatum Game in the Small World Networks: An Agent-Based Approach
Certain social preference models have been proposed to explain fairness behavior in experimental games. Existing bodies of research on evolutionary games, however, explain the evolution of fairness merely through the self-interest agents. This paper attempts to analyze the ultimatum game's evolution on complex networks when a number of agents display social preference. Agents' social preference...
متن کاملIs it all about the self? The effect of self-control depletion on ultimatum game proposers
In the ultimatum-game, as in many real-life social exchange situations, the selfish motive to maximize own gains conflicts with fairness preferences. In the present study we manipulated the availability of cognitive-control resources for ultimatum-game proposers to test whether preference for fairness is a deliberative cognitive-controlled act or an automatic act. In two experiments we found th...

متن کاملPreference and strategy in proposer’s prosocial giving in the ultimatum game
The accumulation of findings that most responders in the ultimatum game reject unfair offers provides evidence that humans are driven by social preferences such as preferences for fairness and prosociality. On the other hand, if and how the proposer's behavior is affected by social preferences remains unelucidated. We addressed this question for the first time by manipulating the knowledge that...
متن کاملChoices in Two-Person Interactions: The Effect of Amount and Social Distance on Offers in the Dictator and Ultimatum Games
Proposers in the Dictator Game and the Ultimatum Game often do not act as normative economic theory predicts. Offers are frequently higher than what would be considered income maximizing. The present study investigates two effects on the amount offered by the proposer. The first is whether the initial amount provided to the proposer systematically affects the amount offered (a magnitude effect)...
