最后通牒博弈是一个简单的谈判,有一个有趣的性质,人们经常拒绝提供“免费”的钱。这些拒绝与经济合理性的标准观点相矛盾。经济理论和人类行为之间的这种分歧很重要,而且没有被广泛接受的原因。本研究探讨最后通牒游戏拒绝和睾酮之间的关系。在许多物种中,睾丸激素与雄性寻求统治地位有关。如果低最后通牒游戏报价被解释为挑战,那么高睾酮的男性可能更有可能拒绝这样的报价。在这个实验中,拒绝低报价(40美元中的5美元)的男性的睾丸激素水平明显高于接受报价的男性。此外,高睾酮水平与更高的最后通牒游戏报价有关,但第二个发现在统计学上并不显著。
The ultimatum game is a simple negotiation with the interesting property that people frequently reject offers of ‘free’ money. These rejections contradict the standard view of economic rationality. This divergence between economic theory and human behaviour is important and has no broadly accepted cause. This study examines the relationship between ultimatum game rejections and testosterone. In a variety of species, testosterone is associated with male seeking dominance. If low ultimatum game offers are interpreted as challenges, then high-testosterone men may be more likely to reject such offers. In this experiment, men who reject low offers ($5 out of $40) have significantly higher testosterone levels than those who accept. In addition, high testosterone levels are associated with higher ultimatum game offers, but this second finding is not statistically significant.
