The utility of our actions frequently depends upon the beliefs and behavior of other agents.
Thankfully, through experience, we learn norms and conventions that provide stable …

In the real world, agents or entities are in a continuous state of interactions. These
interactions lead to various types of complexity dynamics. One key difficulty in the study of …

How humans make decisions in non-cooperative strategic interactions is a big question. For
the fundamental Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) model game system, classic Nash equilibrium …

It is commonly assumed that agents will adopt Nash equilibrium strategies; however,
experimental studies have demonstrated that this is often a poor description of human …

What are the mental operations involved in game theoretic decision making? How do
players deliberate (intelligently, but perhaps imperfectly) about strategic interdependencies …

Data-driven predictions are often perceived as inaccurate in hindsight due to behavioral
responses. In this study, we explore the role of interface design choices in shaping …

Why are some behaviors governed by strong social conventions while others are not? We
experimentally investigate two factors contributing to the formation of conventions in a game …

In simple dyadic games such as rock, paper, scissors (RPS), people exhibit peculiar
sequential dependencies across repeated interactions with a stable opponent. These …

This research studied the strategies that players use in sequential adversarial games. We
took the Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game as an example and ran players in two …

Recently, there has been an increased interest in using behavioral experiments to study
hypotheses on the governance of social-ecological systems. A diversity of software tools are …
