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 $420,103 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of a model to explain how people judge public events like rallies and marches. The project at the University of California, Santa Barbara aims to test theoretical mechanisms related to how individuals' alliance, cause, and order preferences influence their perceptions and support or condemnation of collective actions....
This Project Grant award, valued at $329,937.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The goal of the project is to develop a computational framework for understanding how people infer and reason about underlying social relationships and group behavior. The research involves conducting experiments to investigate human judgments about social relationships, which will be used to refine a computational model...
This $286,178 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on how changes in information dissemination and consumption can impact strategic decision-making and the achievement of common goals. The project aims to develop new methodological tools to measure information similarity across individuals and analyze its effects on collective action problems, coordination games, and policy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $358,156 to the California Institute of Technology to examine how genuine beliefs respond to information provided by knowledgeable sources. The research will develop a new mechanism to deliver information that allows testing for persuasion without needing to know participants' initial beliefs....
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 $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...
This $185,441 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports research at Arizona State University (ASU) to examine individual differences and cognitive processes underlying belief revision. The project aims to quantify four types of belief revision distortions - valence-driven, identity-driven, self-serving, and conservatism - and determine whether individuals reliably differ in the rationality of...
This $323,388 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to examine how smart technological environments can be optimized to augment collective learning and creativity. The research aims to investigate the parameters that drive group-directed learning in three key areas: cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The project involves large-scale...
