Abstract Communities in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes are aging depopulating. While longstanding interdependence of humans nature such areas holds crucial hints for sustainable development, they continue to be undervalued by existing economic frameworks. We suspect omission non-material nature’s contributions people (NCPs) as a possible reason this undervaluation focus on...

The present study examines how individuals with different social value orientations (i.e. prosocial, individualistic, and competitive) construe the rationality, morality, and power of choices in four distinct interdependence structures which systematically differ in the motives that could underlie the most prosocial or least aggressive choice: (a) altruism only, (b) altruism and cooperation, (c...

In many economic contexts, it is of interest to know whether one set of random variables displays a greater degree of interdependence than another. Orderings of interdependence are useful in the assessment of ex post inequality under uncertainty; in comparisons of multidimensional inequality; in assessments of the degree of conformity of behavior in social learning situations; in comparisons of...

In today’s world, transport is not just the act of getting to a wanted destination. Moreover, travelling by a certain vehicle can be a tourist attraction, if the transportation means is designed to arouse the feeling of joy and excitement. The purpose o...

Researchers now regularly estimate spatial models in applied political science, both to enhance the validity of their “direct” (i.e., non-spatial) covariate effect estimates and to test explicitly spatial theories. While this is a welcome advance over past practices, we worry that much of this first generation of applied spatial research overlooks certain aspects of spatial models. In particula...

The present study investigates the relation between the reading process and text comprehension during naturalistic text reading. To that end, participants read easy and difficult texts while their eye movements were recorded. After each reading, participants filled-in comprehension questionnaires. We investigated classical measures of the reading process related to comprehension (fixation durat...

Consistent with the moralityimportance hypothesis, results revealed that morality information in ̄uenced impressions, expectations of other's cooperative behavior, as ...

Cultural psychologists have shown that people from Western countries exhibit more independent self-construal and analytic (rule-based) cognition than people from East Asia, who exhibit more interdependent self-construal and holistic (relationship-based) cognition. One explanation for this cross-cultural variation is the ecocultural hypothesis, which links contemporary psychological differences ...
