Gene-culture co-evolution emphasizes the joint role of culture and genes for emergence altruistic cooperative behaviors behavioral genetics provides estimates their relative importance. However, these approaches cannot assess which biological traits determine altruism or how. We analyze association between in adults exposure to prenatal sex hormones, using second-to-fourth digit ratio. find an inverted U-shaped relation left right hands, is very consistent men less systematic women.

This paper studies performance predictions in the 7-item Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) and whether they differ by gender. After participants completed CRT, predicted their own (i), other participants' (ii), men's (iii), women's (iv) number of correct answers. In keeping with existing literature, men scored higher on CRT than women both were too optimistic about performance. When we compare gender-specific predictions, observe that think perform significantly better do so more women. The...
Does competition affect moral behavior? This fundamental question has been debated among leading scholars for centuries, and more recently, it tested in experimental studies yielding a body of rather inconclusive empirical evidence. A potential source ambivalent results on the same hypothesis is design heterogeneity-variation true effect sizes across various reasonable research protocols. To provide further evidence whether affects behavior to examine generalizability single study...
We study the role of social image in influencing lying behavior through a pre-registered within-subject experiment embedded 2020 wave German SocioEconomic Panel Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS). By exogenously manipulating observability across two tasks, we explore how individuals respond to increased costs lying. exploiting rich comprehensive socio-demographic and psychological data from SOEP-IS, this response varies substrata population. Our findings indicate that men former citizens East...
The open science movement has gained significant momentum over the past decade, with pre-registration and use of pre-analysis plans being central to ongoing debates. Combining observational evidence on trends in adoption survey data from 519 researchers, this study examines (potentially but not necessarily including plans) experimental economics. Pooling statistics 19 leading journals published between 2017 2023, we observe that number papers containing a grew seven per year 190 year. Our...
Abstract This paper contributes to a better understanding of the biological underpinnings overconfidence by analyzing performance predictions in Cognitive Reflection Test with and without monetary incentives. In line existing literature we find that participants are too optimistic about their on average; incentives lead higher performance; males score than females this particular task. The novelty is an analysis relation between participants’ prediction accuracy second fourth digit ratio. It...
Levels of trust and trustworthiness have important externalities for the society. But what exactly do these social concepts reflect? Building upon argument that in typical real-life exchanges people act simultaneously as both trustors trustees, we study impact individuals' motives (or preferences) on their choices a dual-role Trust Game (TG). We employ data from large-scale representative experiment (N = 774), where all subjects played roles binary TG with real monetary incentives. Subjects'...
The digit ratio (2D:4D) is considered a proxy for testosterone exposure in utero, and there has been recent surge of studies testing whether 2D:4D associated with economic preferences. Although the results are not conclusive, previous have reported statistically significant correlations between risk taking, altruism, positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity trust. However, most small sample sizes gathered from university students also no consensus on type analysis (e.g., which hand to...
Problem gambling is a serious socio-economic problem involving high individual and social costs.In this paper, we study risk preferences of gamblers including their attitudes in the gain loss domains, weighting probabilities, degree aversion.Our findings indicate that are systematically more taking less sensitive towards changes probabilities domain only.Neither nor aversion significantly different from controls.Additional evidence for similar sensitivity negative outcomes gained skin...
Bosch-Domènech et al. (2014) reported a negative association between 2D:4D, suggested marker of prenatal testosterone exposure, and the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) in sample 623 university students. In this pre-registered study, we test if can replicate their findings general population over 2,500 individuals from Germany. We find no statistically significant 2D:4D CRT any our primary hypothesis tests, or exploratory analyses robustness tests. The evidence is strong (based on 99.5%...
Abstract A body of literature reports higher rates depression and neuroticism in female samples compared to male samples. Numerous studies have investigated the role prenatal sex hormone exposure this difference, using ratio between second fourth digit hand (“2D:4D”) as a putative marker. However, sample sizes those were mostly small results remained inconclusive. The aim present study is test suggested associations depression, 2D:4D large, representative over 3,000 German individuals. It...
Intuition is a central element of entrepreneurial decision-making. We conceptually replicate published study by using new representative data from 1961 adults and the widely used Cognitive Reflection Test, which assesses ability to avoid intuitive decisions switch an analytical process. extend analysis exploring occupational sorting versus environmental influence as mechanisms, role overconfidence, heterogeneity. Our results confirm that entrepreneurs do not resist (but potentially wrong)...
Abstract Prenatal androgens have organizational effects on brain and endocrine system development, which may a partial impact economic decisions. Numerous studies investigated the relationship between prenatal testosterone financial risk taking, yet results remain inconclusive. We suspect that this is due to difficulty in capturing preferences with expected utility based tasks. Prospect theory, other hand, suggests differ gains, losses mixed prospects, as well for different probability...
Many skin detection approaches have been proposed in the image analysis literature. Some are simple and static; others dynamic rely on complex machine learning algorithms training data. Generally preferred. We hypothesize that developers' choice for due to reasonable quality of results ease implementation, since more sophisticated not readily available. This paper explores color a large number hand samples using space visualization. The suggest static method may suffice many applications,...
Prenatal androgen exposure affects the brain development of fetus which may facilitate certain behaviors and decision patterns in later life. The ratio between lengths second fourth fingers (2D:4D) is a negative biomarker prenatal estrogen men typically have lower ratios than women. In line with typical findings suggesting that women are more risk averse men, several studies also shown relationships 2D:4D taking although evidence not conclusive. Previous reported both believe men. current...
The 2D: 4D digit ratio, the ratio of length second finger to fourth finger, is often considered a proxy for testosterone exposure in utero. A recent study reported, among other things, an association between left-hand 2D:4D and self-employment sample 974 adults. In this preregistered study, we replicate results on more than 2100 adults from German Socioeconomic Panel-Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS). We find no statistically significant associations self-employment.
