타인의 주의력, 사회적 학습에 미치는 영향 연구
이 논문은 incentivized laboratory experiment를 통해 사람들이 타인의 attention을 위한 incentives를 어떻게 고려하고 반응하는지 연구했습니다. 실험 참가자들은 high 또는 low accuracy incentives 조건에서 binary state를 학습하며, 타인의 정확도를 예측하고 정보를 통합하는 과제를 수행했습니다. 연구 결과, 많은 참가자들이 타인의 incentives가 정확도에 미치는 영향을 일관되게 이해하지 못하며, 이는 social-learning task에서도 나타났습니다.
arXiv:2606.31850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In an incentivized laboratory experiment, we study how people account for and respond to others' incentives for paying attention. Participants learn a binary state from an attention task under high or low accuracy incentives. We ask subjects to predict their peers' accuracy based on the peers' incentives and to aggregate answers from multiple peers with different incentives. Most subjects fail to consistently understand that peers with stronger incentives are more accurate, and these subjects also perform worse in individual attention tasks. Subjects also participate in a social-learning task where they first learn the binary state from an attention task, then observe a peer's guess about the state in the same task, and finally make a guess themselves. We find behavior in these tasks is inconsistent with leading models of flexible costly information acquisition. In particular, subjects fail to pay more attention when paired with lower incentive peers. Overall, we find that many decision-makers do not respond to others' incentives for accuracy even when those incentives are transparent.
