During the last several decades, a growing body of laboratory research has shown that human subjects do not always choose to maximize material payoffs. Economists following the lead of psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky (1979) and Mathew Rabin (1993) have built on such research to suppose that individuals are concerned about the distribution of material rewards between themselves an...
متن کاملCan quantum theory explain dark matter?
Certain solutions to a gravitational form of Schrodinger’s equation can yield stable, macroscopic eigenstate solutions having no classical analogue, with properties resembling those of dark matter. Some more tractable solutions show: (1) radiative lifetimes far exceeding the universe’s age, implying negligible emission and inherent stability w.r.t. gravitational collapse, (2) negligible interac...
متن کاملCan information theory explain early word choice.
One problem of interest in child language study has been specifying what features of the speech situation determine what children will say. Several cognitively based approaches to child language development have proposed principles of 'informativeness' to explain the child's choice of word(s). These principles predict that the child will choose the 'most informative' element of a situation and ...
متن کاملCan Cognitive Dissonance Theory Explain Consumer Behavior?
Cognitive dissonance theory is applicable to very limited areas of consumer behavior according to the author. Published findings in support of the theory are equivocal; they fail to show that cognitive dissonance is the only possible cause of observed "dissonance-reducing" behavior. Experimental evidences are examined and their weaknesses pointed out by the author to justify his position. He al...
متن کاملCan game theory explain invasive tumor metabolism?
G ame theory, the discipline behind the Oscar-winning film A Beautiful Mind and the science that predicts strategies and payoffs in competitive scenarios, may explain how invasive cancer cells gain the upper hand in certain metabolic scenarios. For a report published in the December 2008 issue of Cell Proliferation , German researchers Andreas Deutsch, Ph.D. , and Haralambos Hatzikirou, Ph.D., ...
