本文利用一个具有游戏前沟通的信任博弈，对内疚厌恶假说进行了实验研究。为此，我们首先开发了一种新版本的内疚厌恶，称为个人内疚厌恶。结果表明，新版本与现有文献中的实验结果一致，因此不能被任何文献拒绝。鉴于这一观察结果，我们设计了一个实验，可以测试新的和原始版本的内疚厌恶假设。与这两种假设的预测相反，我们发现，即使在游戏前交流的环境中，引发的信念与（信任或值得信赖的）行为之间的相关性几乎为零。因此，我们的实验结果提供了一个反对内疚厌恶假说的案例。(C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
In this paper, we experimentally investigate the guilt aversion hypothesis by using a trust game with pre-play communication. For this purpose, we first develop a new version of guilt aversion called personal guilt aversion. It is shown that the new version is consistent with extant experimental results in the literature and thus cannot be rejected by any of them. Given this observation, we then design an experiment that can test the new as well as original versions of the guilt aversion hypothesis. In contrast to the prediction of both versions of the hypothesis, we find that the correlation between elicited beliefs and (trustful or trustworthy) behavior is almost zero even in an environment with pre-play communication. Thus, our experimental result provides a case against the guilt aversion hypothesis. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
