This award funds a doctoral dissertation that combines methods from social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral economics. The coPI seeks to measure the neurobiology of personality traits, the adaptive properties of these traits in the context of strategic games, and the relation of these traits to experience-based learning and abstract reasoning. In particular, the research investigates how the relative salience of potential gains and losses interact with specific personality traits to determine a decision-maker's success in using the relatively complicated mental process of backwards induction.The project extends current research on the neural correlates of personality and choice-behavior to the domain of strategic decision making and abstract reasoning. The project also provides a foundation for a formal description of personality traits as characteristic adaptive properties in the context of a strategic decision. The coPI plans to formulate and test an empirical model of learning in strategic games that includes personality traits as an independent variable.The broader impacts include training a graduate student in a wide variety of research methods that are important for interdisciplinary research in behavioral science. The research may also prove useful in helping us understand how to improve the ways information is presented to individuals who carry out collective decision tasks.

该奖项资助结合了社会心理学，认知神经科学和行为经济学方法的博士论文。 coPI旨在测量人格特质的神经生物学，这些特质在策略游戏背景下的适应性，以及这些特质与基于经验的学习和抽象推理的关系。 特别是，该研究探讨了潜在收益和损失的相对显着性如何与特定的人格特质相互作用，以确定决策者的成功，在使用相对复杂的心理过程的向后induction.The项目扩展了目前的研究人格和选择行为的神经相关的战略决策和抽象推理的领域。 该项目还提供了一个基础，正式描述的个性特征的特点，适应性的背景下，一个战略决策。 coPI计划制定并测试一个将人格特质作为自变量的策略游戏学习经验模型，其更广泛的影响包括培养一名研究生掌握各种研究方法，这些方法对行为科学的跨学科研究非常重要。 这项研究也可能有助于帮助我们了解如何改善信息呈现给执行集体决策任务的个人的方式。
