  8. Economists and Ultimatum Game
    • economists think that people are rational and will make decisions based on all the information they have, however they do realize they are not always rational
    • Proposer divides the $ Respondent accepts or rejects
    • Acceptance - get $
    • Rejection no $

    you should keep 9.95 and the other person should take .05 becuase that is rational

    50% of $

    • The greater the anger you felt the more likely you are to reject

    • Offers are less equal than Ultimatium game
    • Rarely offer nothing
  14. Monkeys (Bosman)
    • (innate sense of fairness and have an aversion to inequity)
    • inequality conditions less likely to exchange token for cucumber
    • why? because they also live in groups because there are advantages
  15. Is Spite Fxnal?
    • if interactions are repeated, maybe in long-term interest to retaliate
    • fxn - deter others from mistreating you in future interactions
  16. Anger Management (video)
    • no evidence that letting your anger out actually helps
    • in the experiment - did NOT decrease aggression it actually increased it.
