Social distance and risky decision making
No full textThis social distance and risky decision making project consists of 4 planned experiments that will examine the impact of social distance on risk taking and information processing. We preregister multiple experiments that slightly change the decision making scenario and population to test the robustness of the findings. The experiments are nearly identical. The experiments will only differ with respect to the decision making scenario and the population from which participants will be recruited. The experiments will mainly target employees and leaders in Norway, in different sectors (such as health and finance). The project is led by PhD Candidate Lewend Mayiwar and Professor Linda Lai. Data will be collected by executive of master of science students currently enrolled at BI Norwegian Business Schools. The students are supervised by both project leaders and will use the data in their thesis

Individual Differences in Fear and Self-Distancing Predict Information Processing via Problem Construal

No full textThis is a follow-up to Study 1. This study seeks to investigate how trait fear and trait self-distancing are associated with information processing, and whether mental imagery mediates these relationships
Self-Distancing Regulates the Effect of Incidental Anger (vs. Fear) in Affective Decision-Making under Uncertainty
No full text(Almost) No Evidence of Self–Other Differences in Risk Preference and Cognitive Processing Among Professionals in Risky-Choice Framing Tasks
No full textA substantial body of research has shown that risky decisions made for others often differ from those made for oneself. However, findings remain mixed, and there is still ongoing discussion about when and for whom self-other differences are most likely to emerge or be strongest. Building on previous research, which has primarily focused on lay samples and the outcomes of decision-making rather than the underlying processes, the current study reports on four preregistered experiments examining self–other differences across various professional domains, while also testing the commonly assumed cognitive mechanisms. Participants (total N = 1,337) were financial advisors at a large trade union (Experiment 1), leaders at a local government organization (Experiment 2) and a large hospital (Experiment 3), and a general sample of employees and leaders (Experiment 4). Participants completed a risky choice problem tailored to reflect their professional background (Experiments 1-3), where they were asked to choose between a safe and risky option either for themselves or for a hypothetical other, in both gain and loss frames. They then reported the extent to which they engaged in intuitive and analytical processing, and their emotional arousal. There was no evidence for consistent self-other differences in risk and no moderation by frame. In addition, there were no self-other differences in cognitive processing or affect. However, there was a main effect of framing in all experiments—that is, greater risk-seeking in loss (vs. gain) frames
