While it is appealing to infer such decision strategies from information search patterns, whether the latter can always reflect the former remains unclear. This research examined the potential correspondence between information search patterns and decision strategies in intertemporal choices under three decision conditions. Two of the conditions involved explicit instructions on whether an alternative-based or an attribute-based strategy should be implemented, whereas under the third, free condition, participants were asked to choose solely according to their true preferences. For each condition, alternative- and attribute-based information search patterns were identified based on the numbers of alternative-based and attribute-based transitions in eye movements. For the free condition, decision strategies were inferred by comparing the fitting performance of relevant dynamic models. A clear correspondence was found between information search patterns and decision strategies under the instructed conditions, but this correspondence was apparently lacking in the free condition. These results call into question the general practice of inferring decision strategies from process tracing data. Potential reasons for the revealed dissociation and further research to improve understanding of the correspondence between information search patterns and decision strategies are discussed.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A New Online Tool to Study the Many Flavors of Polarization","authors":"Olivia Fischer, Renato Frey","doi":"10.1002/bdm.70041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bdm.70041","url":null,"abstract":"Polarization has become a major concern in behavioral science and popular media, as it may affect many important areas of life. For instance, how polarized are people's perceptions of risks, such as regarding (not) imposing mitigation measures during a pandemic? Answering this question is surprisingly challenging: Whereas multiple theoretical views of polarization and their respective mathematical operationalizations coexist, the latter are often used interchangeably as measures of “polarization.” This may be indicative of a jingle fallacy, because it is unknown whether the diverse ways of quantifying polarization in people's perceptions of important societal matters empirically converge. In study 1, we thus ran a reanalysis of a large dataset from the World Values Survey covering diverse topics of societal relevance (N = 93,214), finding only moderate empirical convergence between six operationalizations of polarization. In study 2, we applied the same approach focusing specifically on people's risk perceptions of COVID-19 mitigation measures (N = 768) and found a similar pattern of low convergence between different operationalizations of polarization. However, according to one operationalization with a clear threshold for polarization, risk perceptions were polarized in 11 out of 12 experimental conditions. Our findings emphasize the need to carefully consider how polarization is operationalized to avoid broad generalizations, keeping in mind that some operationalizations may speak to specific theoretical conceptualizations. To raise awareness for this concern and support behavioral science researchers in conducting similar analyses with their own datasets, we provide a novel online tool available at https://shiny.cbdr-lab.net/polarization.","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bdm.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, research has focused more extensively on pinpointing boundary conditions under which priming effects might surface or be attenuated. We contribute to this stream of literature, showing how visceral states (“hot” affective states) moderate the effectiveness of priming procedures. We demonstrate that active visceral states inhibit the effectiveness of primes that are unrelated to this state in decision domains that are also unrelated to this state (e.g., hungry people primed with the color orange making non-food related product choices). More importantly, extending the direct implications originating from previous research, we provide evidence that unrelated primes can still influence judgment and decision-making in judgment domains that are related to the visceral state when such a state is still experienced (e.g., hungry participants primed with the color orange making food-related rather than non-food-related product choices). The present research thus presents a nuanced view on when seemingly unrelated primes may or may not be expected to yield downstream consequences on judgment and choice.","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bdm.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145111351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a cognitive level, people can be skeptical about another person's trustworthiness but are averse to signaling their suspicions at a behavioral level. This phenomenon of “principled trustfulness” has been documented for trust implicating the moral character of another person but not explored for cases involving their competence. We introduce a new game-theoretical paradigm, the competence game, in which participants can bet money on whether an interaction partner will pass an intelligence test, thus placing trust in their partner's competence. Across four studies (N = 3337 participants analyzed, each making a decision to risk), we compared behavior in competence games and traditional trust games, which focus on moral choice and lottery gambles. In competence games, participants were significantly less likely to trust their interaction partner than in trust games even if the pay-off structure and likelihood of reaching a positive outcome were identical. Thus, trust in competence is not as principled to the same degree as trust in moral character but seems to be approached more like a self-interested investment decision.","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bdm.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these approaches severely limit the study of context effects and, as a consequence, the applicability of their findings. In this paper, we generalize existing approaches in modeling choice with the aim of developing a toolbox for the analysis of observational data. We consider three main context measures: attraction, compromise, and similarity. The proposed methodology hinges on ex ante calculation of context features for every alternative in multioption, multiattribute choice sets. This approach minimizes the computational complications of estimating the resulting choice model. The proposed approach is applied to air traveler choice data using an extensive observational dataset. This yields the first examination of all three context effects simultaneously in a large observational dataset. We discuss the consequences of product (re)design based on the results of the empirical exercise to showcase the potential use of the developed methodology in managerial practice.","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bdm.70030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are measured to understand and inform financial decisions and to predict financial outcomes like using a financial advisor, having a retirement account, or having lower inflation expectations. Financial surveys typically ask participants to report one planning horizon for “saving and spending,” seemingly assuming that people use one planning horizon for saving and for spending and that this one planning horizon also applies to other financial domains such as investing and retirement finances. The underlying reasoning may be that money is fungible, with one extra dollar of spending removing one dollar from the money available for saving, investing, or retirement finances. Here, we report on three US-wide studies in which people indicated using different planning horizons across financial domains, which were differentially associated with financial outcomes. Median planning horizons were significantly shorter for saving and spending than for retirement finances (Study 1); for spending than for saving (Study 2); and, in order, for spending, saving, investing, and retirement finances (Study 3). Short-term (vs. long-term) planning horizons were often more valid predictors of financial outcomes (Studies 1–3), suggesting that short-term planning horizons may take precedence in financial decisions. A combination of short-term and long-term planning horizons may even have independent associations with financial outcomes (Study 3). We conclude that planning horizon questions should ask about specific financial domains and that multiple planning horizons may be relevant to specific financial outcomes.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Decision Making","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144897753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
