This $272,750 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports fundamental research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on how people make decisions and interact based on information. The key research focuses include: 1) understanding the long-term implications of people's limited or imperfect memory, which can lead to overconfidence and neglect of rare events; 2) examining how people decide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, with Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) program number 47.075 for the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, provides $350,000.00 in funding from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028. The award aims to develop a simulation tool to model the information ecosystem, specifically how content spreads and is consumed by people in a network. Using agent-based modeling techniques, the project incorporates features of information flow,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $217,772 Project Grant through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Alabama, effective July 1, 2024. This 3-year research project aims to investigate how individuals process information and make decisions when faced with prospects characterized by multiple layers of risk and/or ambiguity, such as those related to climate change or public health emergencies. The project will outline a series of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant award of $234,489 supports collaborative research at New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The primary objectives are to: Conduct a series of experiments to understand how people form subjective causal models based on observed data patterns, and how these models may be influenced by preconceptions triggered by natural contexts. This will provide insights into how economic...
This $192,632 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) supports interdisciplinary research at Purdue University exploring how to improve decision-making processes. The project aims to develop a novel theory and operational framework for understanding how individuals and organizations weigh information sources and aggregate disparate data to reach conclusions, with applications in areas like user interface...
This $714,203 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research conducted by New York University (NYU) on how people change their planning behavior in response to uncertainty in their environment. The project aims to develop computational models of human planning under varying levels of randomness, including uncertainty in rewards, actions, and volatile environments. The research will analyze...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $233,514 to fund collaborative research on diagnostic expectations, uncertainty, and macroeconomic fluctuations. The research team from The Johns Hopkins University will investigate the inherent link between representativeness and uncertainty, formalizing a "smooth diagnostic expectations" framework. This will be used to develop quantitative...
This Project Grant award of $375,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at Purdue University to develop statistical methods for analyzing relationships between variables in psychometric studies. The research aims to enable efficient, likelihood-based inference for intractable graphical models, which are commonly used to represent relationships between multiple attributes. The project will produce...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support collaborative research that explores how scientific messages about environmental adaptation shape people's decisions, especially when their beliefs about the environment, politics, and other issues are closely connected. The $148,477 project will map how these "belief networks" vary across different groups, and then design and implement...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $185,441.00 to Arizona State University to study the cognitive processes and individual differences underlying people's ability to revise their beliefs when presented with new evidence. The project aims to quantify four types of belief revision distortions - valence-driven, identity-driven, self-serving, and conservatism - and determine whether individuals...
