Socio-Psychological Perspectives on the Potential for Serious Games to Promote Transcendental Values in IWRM Decision-Making

Incomplete Information Games with Transcendental Values

In a repeated zero-sum two-person game with incomplete information on both sides, the asymptotic value is defined as v = lim_oo v", where vn is the value of the game with n repetitions. It is shown here that v may be a transcendental number even for games in which all parameters defining the game are rational. This is in contrast to the situation in stochastic games where by the result of Bewle...

Values, Psychological Perspectives

Like other cognitive constructs, values can be studied at the individual level or at the group level. That is societies, cultures, and other social groups have value-based norms, prioriti...
