{"pk":29818,"title":"Cooperation, Response Time, and Social Value Orientation: A Meta-Analysis","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Recent research at the cross between cognitive and social sci-ences is investigating the cognitive mechanisms behind coop-erative decisions. One debated question is whether cooperativedecisions are made faster than non-cooperative ones. Yet em-pirical evidence is still mixed. In this paper we explore theimplications of individual heterogeneity in social value orien-tation for the effect of response time on cooperation. We con-duct a meta-analysis of available experimental studies (n=8;treatments=16; 5,232 subjects). We report two main results:(i) the relation between response time and cooperation is mod-erated by social value orientation, such that it is positive forindividualist subjects and negative for prosocial subjects; (ii)the relation between response time and cooperation is partlymediated by extremity of choice. These results suggest thathighly prosocial subjects are fast to cooperate, highly individ-ualist subjects are fast to defect, and subjects with weaker pref-erences make slower and less extreme decisions. We explainthese results in terms of decision-conflict theory.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Cooperation; Response Time; Social Value Orien-tation; Decision Conflict."}],"section":"Poster Session 2","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3n82v5js","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Giulia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Andrighetto","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Valerio","middle_name":"","last_name":"Capraro","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Andrea","middle_name":"","last_name":"Guido","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Aron","middle_name":"","last_name":"Szekely","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29818/galley/19672/download/"}]}
