Following a recent paper by Fragnelli and Marina (2009) concerned with the susceptibility of the Steinhaus-Knaster procedure for discrete fair division problems to insincere representations of the agents’ preferences, the present short note shows that modified procedures proposed in the literature present a reduced degree of vulnerability to strategic manipulations.

During social interactions, listeners weigh the importance of linguistic and extra-linguistic speech cues (prosody) to infer the true intentions of the speaker in reference to what is actually said. In this study, we investigated what brain processes allow listeners to detect when a spoken compliment is meant to be sincere (true compliment) or not ("white lie"). Electroencephalograms of 29 part...

Abstract The domain of Natural Language Processing covers various tasks, such as classification, text generation, and language model. data processed using word embeddings, or vectorizers, is then trained Machine Learning Deep algorithms. In order to observe the tradeoff between both these types algorithms, with respect available, accuracy obtained other factors, a binary classification undertak...

Anecdotal evidence suggests that speakers often gaze away from their listeners during sarcastic utterances; however, this question has not been directly addressed empirically. This study systematically compared gaze-direction of speakers in dyadic conversation when uttering sincere and sarcastic statements. 18 naïve participants were required to recite a series of contradictory statements on a ...

Abstract In a controlled laboratory experiment we investigate whether time pressure influences voting decisions, and in particular the degree of strategic (insincere) voting. We find that participants under constraints are more sincere when using widely-employed Plurality Voting method. That is, might reduce hence misrepresentation preferences. However, there no effects for Approval Voting, lin...

In civil wars, unpopular and violent rebel organizations sometimes gain support from politically motivated constituencies who should, by outside appearances, logically oppose such groups. I explain this through a logic in which self-interested, insincere leaders pander to aggrieved civilian populations mobilize them, presenting the organization as empathizing with offering solutions popular gri...
