Modelling the Interplay of Emotions, Beliefs and Intentions within Collective Decision Making Based on Insights from Social Neuroscience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collective decision making involves on the one hand individual mental states such as beliefs, emotions and intentions, and on the other hand interaction with others with possibly different mental states. Achieving a satisfactory common group decision on which all agree requires that such mental states are adapted to each other by social interaction. Recent developments in Social Neuroscience have revealed neural mechanisms by which such mutual adaptation can be realised. These mechanisms not only enable intentions to converge to an emerging common decision, but at the same time enable to achieve shared underlying individual beliefs and emotions. This paper presents a computational model for such processes.

متن کاملAgent-Based Modelling of Social Emotional Decision Making in Emergency Situations
Decision making under stressful circumstances is a challenging type of human process. For example, in emergency evacuations of a group of persons, the quality of such decision making processes may make a difference between surviving or not. Decision making under stress involves a number of aspects that have to be dealt with, such as high levels of emotions, adequate predictive capabilities, and...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modelling of the Emergence of Collective States Based on Contagion of Individual States in Groups
This paper introduces a neurologically inspired computational model for the dynamics and diffusion of agent states within groups. The model combines an individual model based on Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis with mutual effects of group members on each other via mirroring of individual states such as emotions, beliefs and intentions. The obtained model shows how this combination of assume...
متن کاملAn Integrative Dynamical Systems Perspective on Emotions
Within cognitive, affective and social neuroscience more and more mechanisms are found that suggest how emotions relate in a bidirectional manner to many other mental processes and behaviour. Based on this, in this paper a neurologically inspired dynamical systems approach on the dynamics and interaction of emotions is discussed. Thus an integrative perspective is obtained that can be used to d...
متن کاملMitigating Evidentiary Bias in Planning and Policy-Making; Comment on “Reflective Practice: How the World Bank Explored Its Own Biases?”
The field of cognitive psychology has increasingly provided scientific insights to explore how humans are subject to unconscious sources of evidentiary bias, leading to errors that can affect judgement and decision-making. Increasingly these insights are being applied outside the realm of individual decision-making to the collective arena of policy-making as well. A recent editorial in this jou...
