God is watching you: priming God concepts increases prosocial behavior in an anonymous economic game.
We present two studies aimed at resolving experimentally whether religion increases prosocial behavior in the anonymous dictator game.

This effect was at least as large as that obtained when concepts associated with secular moral institutions were pri...

We test the effect of players’ moods on their behavior in a gift-exchange game. In the first stage of the game, player 1 chooses a transfer to player 2.

We say that player 2 reciprocates if effort is increasing in the transfer received. Player 2 is generous if ef...

متن کاملWhy your model parameter confidences might be too optimistic – unbiased estimation of the inverse covariance matrix
Aims. The maximum-likelihood method is the standard approach to obtain model fits to observational data and the corresponding confidence regions. We investigate possible sources of bias in the log-likelihood function and its subsequent analysis, focusing on estimators of the inverse covariance matrix. Furthermore, we study under which circumstances the estimated covariance matrix is invertible....
