“…We do not know why an individual might prioritize one close other over another. Recent research suggests that value-based psychological systems are involved in tracking important social information (e.g., social status) and close-other status strongly modulates the subjective value of rewards (Feng, Zhao, & Donnay, 2013;Hackel, Doll, & Amodio, 2015;Morelli, Chang, Carlson, Kullar, & Zaki, 2018;Parkinson, Kleinbaum, & Wheatley, 2017;Wang, Cheng, Lee, & Chuang, 2019;Zerubavel, Bearman, Weber, & Ochsner, 2015;Zhao, Feng, & Kazinka, 2014) Coupled with the fact that prior studies on social decision-making with close others have found evidence of consistent preferences with monetary outcomes (Guassi Moreira et al, 2019), it is likely that a value-based psychological architecture may be driving these preferences while also leaving open the possibility that non-value-based architectures may drive preferences involving other outcomes (e.g., social motivations).…”
