Better Together? Effects Of Dyadic Collaboration On Intertemporal Preference, Emily Edgington
Better Together? Effects Of Dyadic Collaboration On Intertemporal Preference, Emily Edgington
Masters Theses, 2020-current
Abstract
Intertemporal choices have been researched extensively in the context of individual choices. However, empirical evidence is absent regarding intertemporal preferences when two individuals collaborate on a choice task. This study aimed to compare the rates of discounting under the condition of dyadic collaboration and individual decisions. Furthermore, this study examined the collaboration sessions in an online video conferencing platform. Results showed a strong, positive correlation between average individual discounting rates and corresponding dyad rates of discounting. The findings of this study should be considered when making intertemporal decisions.
Key Words: delay discounting, group decision-making, online collaboration
