Because of compositional effects (more highly educated unemployed) and differences in the vulnerability towards the health consequences of unemployment (i.e. disappointment paradox hypothesis and/or status inconsistency for highly educated unemployed), it is argued that indicators of educational attainment need to be included when investigating the social norm of unemployment. Data from the 200...

This paper uses the disappointment aversion and prospect theory to estimate consumers’ valuation of basic 30-day money-back guarantees (MBGs). We test how this valuation changes when the duration of MBGs vary, risk increases (store versus catalog), and return options change (store credit versus cash back) using data collected in Northern California. Our results confirm that individuals do not e...

Chimpanzees' refusal of less-preferred food when an experimenter has previously provided preferred food to a conspecific has been taken as evidence for a sense of fairness. Here, we present a novel hypothesis-the social disappointment hypothesis-according to which food refusals express chimpanzees' disappointment in the human experimenter for not rewarding them as well as they could have. We te...

Mechanism design is concerned with settings where a policy maker (or social planner) faces the problem of aggregating the announced preferences of multiple agents into a collective (or social), system-wide decision. One of the most important ways for aggregation preference used in a multi agent system is using election. In an election, the aim is to select the candidate who reects the common wi...

This paper focuses on the role of frequency spectral tilt (TL) of the voicing source waveform, the glottal turbulent noise and fluctuations of the source spectrum on period-to-period basis in the cognition of paralinguistic features as in suspicious and disappointed renditions. The TL is closely related to duration of the return phase of the differentiated glottal waveform. Perceptual experimen...

Gul’s theory of disappointment aversion (DA) has several attractive features, being intuitive, analytically tractable, and parsimonious. In spite of this, the DA model has received little attention in practical applications, which may be partly due to the absence of a procedure to elicit the model. We show how the tradeoff method, developed by Wakker and Deneffe can be used to elicit DA. Our el...
