“…14 A typical prediction for contests is that agents compete at the level where marginal benefit of winning the contest equals to the marginal cost of competing. An experimental literature, however, finds that for most (though not all) competition is more aggressive than predicted (see [28] for review) and that more frequent conflict increases negative emotions [143]. It is a long-standing puzzle why participants compete more than predicted [144].…”

Abstract:We introduce a dynamic model of emotional behavior regulation that can generalize to a wide range of decision dilemmas. Dilemmas are characterized by availability of mutually exclusive goals that a decision maker is dually motivated to pursue. In our model, previous goal pursuant decisions produce negative emotions that regulate an individual's propensity to further pursue those goals at future times. This emotional regulation of behavior helps explain the non-stationarity and switching observed between so-called "preferences" revealed in repeated decision dilemmas (e.g., by choosing A over B at time 1, then choosing B over A at time 2). We also explain how behavior regulation under dilemma conditions is affected by the set of available options and how the strength and decay rate of emotions affect the tendency to choose behaviors pursuant of extremely (rather than moderately) different options over time. We discuss how emotional behavior regulation insights provided by our model can extend to a variety of topics including approach and avoidance, temptation and self-control, moral balancing, impulse buying and shopping momentum, dieting and exercise, work and leisure, sleep regulation, cooperation, and competition.

“…They are considered the cause of an emotional reaction or outburst. Also, emotional triggers are often perceived as uncontrollable reactions and the cause of inner conflicts (Caldara, McBride, McCarter & Sheremeta, 2017). Managing, not suppressing or avoiding, emotions is the key to a functional and successful communication.…”

Il COVID-19 non ha solo causato diffusi disagi emotivi sotto forma di paura, depressione e ansia, ma ha anche generato una crisi economica globale. Se la maggior parte di noi potrebbe interpretare la parola "economia" da una prospettiva macroeconomica, come definita da Adam Smith (1904), però altri eminenti autori e studiosi, come spiegato nel contributo, ne hanno adottato una definizione centrata sulla persona. Nel presentare entrambi gli approcci, il contributo adotterà le definizioni di economie centrate sulla persona e le amplierà introducendo un nuovo Framework, chiamato Self-Science, per facilitare la comprensione delle componenti legate al self-awareness con lo scopo di perseguire e perfezionare il self-mastery.

“…For instance, authors investigate the way emotions drive such behavior in relation to social ties [ 54 ], fairness perceptions and experienced emotions [ 55 ], waiting time [ 56 ], the demand for expressing emotions [ 57 ] and negative emotions [ 58 ]. In the same vein, using the JoD game, Caldara et al [ 59 ] found that negative emotions, generated by the game, increase the destroyed amount. Based on the literature above, the mentioned games are responsible of triggering a range set of emotions susceptible of influencing spiteful behavior.…”

An experimental investigation on the dark side of emotions and its aftereffects

The economic literature is so far overwhelmingly dedicated to the effect of incidental emotions on virtuous behavior. However, it is not so explicit for destructive behavior and the way it evolves with emotional states. To fill this gap, we explore how incidental emotions impact antisocial behavior in a laboratory experiment. As our vehicle of research, we used the open treatment of the joy-of-destruction mini-game. In addition to that, we elicited players’ first and second-order beliefs via an incentivized questionnaire. We find that destructive behavior is driven by two motives: spite (Machiavellian traits) and preemptive retaliation (Expected destruction by partners). Emotional states do not impact destructive behavior directly. However, positive emotions brighten the expectations of other player beliefs on his partner’s destruction, and indirectly reduces the willingness to destroy partner’s money.
