The_role_of_personality_in_social_and_economic_choice

How do fundamental concepts from economics, such as individuals’ preferences and beliefs, relate to equally fundamental concepts from psychology, such as relatively stable personality traits? Can personality traits help us better understand economic behavior across strategic contexts? The goal of this study is to investigate different personality profiles and examine the role of strategic context (the “situation”), personality traits (the “person”) and their interaction on beliefs and behaviors in different versions of extended trustgames (with and without the option to punish uncooperative behavior).
