Better the Devil You Know than the Devil you Don’t An Inductive Theory of Choice
We propose and develop a theory of choice free of concepts such as utility function or preference relation. We replace the primitives used in traditional rational choice theories by similarity function— used to compare any alternative to a reference alternative— and a minimum distance choice function. It is shown that this model can explain the appearance of intransitive choices, which are cent...
متن کاملThe devil you know: neuroticism predicts neural response to uncertainty.
Individuals differ in the extent to which they respond negatively to uncertainty. Although some individuals feel little discomfort when facing the unknown, those high in neuroticism find it aversive. We examined neurophysiological responses to uncertainty using an event-related potential framework. Participants completed a time-estimation task while their neural activity was recorded via electr...
متن کاملBetter the devil you know? Nonconscious processing of identity and affect of famous faces.
The nonconscious recognition of facial identity was investigated in two experiments featuring brief (17-msec) masked stimulus presentation to prevent conscious recognition. Faces were presented in simultaneous pairs of one famous face and one unfamiliar face, and participants attempted to select the famous face. Subsequently, participants rated the famous persons as "good" or "evil" (Experiment...
متن کاملThe Devil you Know: The Effects of Identifiability on Punishment
Prior research has confirmed Thomas Schelling’s observation that people are more sympathetic and hence generous toward specific identified victims than toward ‘‘statistical’’ victims who are yet to be identified. In the study presented in this article we demonstrate an equivalent effect for punitiveness. We find that people are more punitive toward identified wrongdoers than toward equivalent, ...
متن کاملBetter the Devil You Know: A User Study of Two CAPTCHAs and a Possible Replacement Technology
CAPTCHAs are difficult for humans to use, causing frustration. Alternatives have been proposed, but user studies equate usability to solvability. We consider the user perspective to include workload and context of use. We assess traditional text-based CAPTCHAs alongside PlayThru, a ‘gamified’ verification mechanism, and NoBot, which uses face biometrics. A total of 87 participants were tasked w...
