A Cross-Cultural Experimental Study on Interactive Decision-Making Involving Germans, Israelis and Palestinians

该项目的主要目标是了解文化差异如何影响各种战略环境中的战略行为。我们将着重于主要基于德国人、以色列人和巴勒斯坦人参与的实验室实验的研究，以解决这一问题。我们将设计几个游戏的实验，包括最后通牒游戏，信任游戏，公益游戏和团队游戏。在文化的影响之外，我们想研究这三个民族之间关系的特殊历史和政治背景如何影响战略行为。一个国家群体倾向于对另一个国家群体形成什么样的刻板印象，这些刻板印象是否在另一个群体的实际行为中得到支持？最后，可能发现的文化影响是持久的，还是随着互动的增加或面对面的接触而逐渐减少？德国、以色列和约旦河西岸的四个小组将合作。这些实验将在战略性的设置中进行，这些设置将匿名互动与一种文化内和跨文化的面对面互动进行比较。

The main goal of the project is to understand how cultural differences affect strategic behavior in a variety of strategic environments. We will address the issue by focusing on studies based primarily on laboratory experiments with the participation of Germans, Israelis and Palestinians. We will design experiments on several games including the ultimatum game, trust games, public good games, and team games. Beyond the effects of culture we want to study how the special historical and political background of the relation between these three nationalities affect strategic behavior. What kind of stereotypes does one country group tend to form against another, and do these stereotypes find support in the actual behavior of the other group? Finally, are the cultural effects that may be discovered persistent or do they tend to diminish with increasing interaction or with face-to face contact? Four teams in Germany, Israel and the West Bank will collaborate. The experiments will be conducted in strategic set-ups that compare anonymous interaction with face-to-face interaction within a culture and across cultures.
