Asymmetric Fairness and Unfairness: Reinventing Distribution with a Computer Game
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on how young children constructed the idea of distribution in a computer game. The game offered children the opportunity to manipulate sample space and distribution in order to solve problematic situations of fairness and unfairness. The paper describes children’s expressions and constructions of asymmetric fairness and unfairness. We present some case studies, which illustrate how the game mediated children’s probabilistic understandings.

Increased neural responses to unfairness in a loss context
Unfairness plays an important role in economic decision making. This fMRI study sought to investigate how the loss and the gain contexts could modulate behavioral and brain responses to unfairness by focusing on participants' rejection behaviors during an Ultimatum Game paradigm. Participants were scanned while they were playing the Ultimatum Game as responders in both loss and gain contexts, i...

The important research issue that is to be tackled in multihop ad hoc wireless network is the guarantee of fairness for concurrent flows in rate based transport protocol (Radunovic et al 2004). In this chapter, throughput unfairness of concurrent flow is analyzed. The end-to-end throughput of a packet flow degrades significantly with the increase in the number of its transmission hops. Fairness...

متن کاملSocial distance and anonymity modulate fairness consideration: An ERP study
Previous research indicated that fairness consideration can be influenced by social distance. However, it is not clear whether social distance and anonymity have an interactive impact on fairness evaluation during asset distribution and whether these processes can be documented in brain activity. Using a modified ultimatum game combined with measures of event related potential (ERP), we examine...
متن کاملProvisioning QoS for WiFi-enabled Portable Devices in Home Networks
Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices have recently been introduced into the consumer electronics market. These devices download or upload content, from or to a host machine, such as a personal computer, a laptop, a home gateway, or a media server. This paper investigates the fairness among multiple Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices in a home network when they are simultaneously communicated with the hos...
