This chapter provides an overview of some of the foundational work and methods on neuroeconomic approaches to studying social decision-making, that is, where individuals make choices in social contexts, balancing personal preferences with the values, beliefs, and expectations of others. Outlining three core aspects of social decision-making—trust, cooperation, and resource allocation—we discuss the experimental paradigms used to examine each, and highlight the insights gained into the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying social interactions.

摘要

This chapter provides an overview of some of the foundational work and methods on neuroeconomic approaches to studying social decision-making, that is, where individuals make choices in social contexts, balancing personal preferences with the values, beliefs, and expectations of others. Outlining three core aspects of social decision-making—trust, cooperation, and resource allocation—we discuss the experimental paradigms used to examine each, and highlight the insights gained into the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying social interactions. We conclude with a discussion of new approaches that have the potential to expand our current understanding of social decision-making.
