Comparing experience- and description-based economic preferences across 11 countries
Recent evidence indicates that reward value encoding in humans is highly context dependent, leading to suboptimal decisions in some cases, but whether this computational constraint on valuation is a shared feature of human cognition remains unknown. Here we studied the behaviour of n = 561 i...

Recent evidence indicates that reward value encoding in humans is
highly context dependent, leading to suboptimal decisions in some
cases, but whether this computational constraint on valuation is a
shared feature of human cognition remains unknown. Here we studied
the behaviour of n = 561 individuals from 11 countries of markedly
diferent socioeconomic and cultural makeup. Our fndings show that
context sensitivity was present in all 11 countries. Suboptimal decisions
generated by context manipulation were not explained by risk aversion,
as estimated through a separate description-based choice task (that is,
lotteries) consisting of matched decision ofers. Conversely, risk aversion
signifcantly difered across countries. Overall, our fndings suggest that
context-dependent reward value encoding is a feature of human cognition
that remains consistently present across diferent countries, as opposed to
description-based decision-making, which is more permeable to cultural
factors. |
