Social Value Orientation And The Law, Rebecca Hollander-Blumoff
Social Value Orientation And The Law, Rebecca Hollander-Blumoff
William & Mary Law Review
Social value orientation is a psychological trait defined as an individual’s natural preference with respect to the allocation of resources. Law and economics scholarship takes as its starting point the rational actor, who is by definition interested solely in maximizing her own personal utility. But social psychology research demonstrates that, in study after study, approximately half of individuals demonstrate a “prosocial” orientation, meaning that they are interested in maximizing the total outcome of the group and are dedicated to an equal split of resources.
