This study explored the effects of praise (praise content and agency) on cooperation in a two-player public goods game through one pilot experiment and three experiments. The results indicated that both process-focused and person-focused praise enhanced cooperative behaviours. Notably, participants exhibited higher levels of cooperation under process-focused praise compared to person-focused praise. Additionally, the act of expressing praise led to more cooperative behaviour than merely receiving praise or no praise at all. Overall, these findings underscore the efficacy of process-focused praise in promoting cooperation, with the expression of praise proving more effective than its reception. These insights suggest practical applications in organizational and educational settings, where implementing strategies that emphasize process-focused praise and encourage the active expression of appreciation could significantly enhance cooperative dynamics and team performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102348"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logistic regression analysis is employed to discern the distinctive characteristics among the five decision-making styles. The results show that cognitive biases caused by using the heuristics differ based on individuals’ decision-making styles, suggesting that these styles are associated with their respective judgment error types. The experimental results of this study can support individuals in making more rational decisions by helping them understand which cognitive biases are likely to occur based on their specific decision-making style.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 102329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also analyzes the relationship between personality traits and risk aversion. To this end, 1,357 investors in Spain were surveyed through an online questionnaire combining a choice experiment and a personality assessment. The main conclusion of our study is that personality traits are associated with the characteristics of investment products preferred by the sampled investors.. This relationship is quantified through the analysis of a willingness to pay (WTP) for various investment attributes. While all personality traits are linked to risk aversion and a willingness to invest in sustainable companies, our WTP analysis highlights differences in the extent to which investors are willing to forgo profitability to contribute to the SDGs. Although we find heterogeneous behavior among investors, the agreeableness trait emerges as the most concerned with sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 102332"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find carryover effects using both types of stimuli, but they are stronger for the naturalistic stimulus and in the context of ambiguity, providing a proof of concept that carryover effects can be observed when moving away from highly stylised settings. These effects are also gender specific with only males being susceptible.
