EVOLUTION IN IMPERFECT COMMITMENT BARGAINING-STRATEGIC VERSUS IGNORANT TYPES
Metroeconomica, 2007Co-Authors: Sven Fischer, Werner Güth, Kerstin PullAbstract:To commit in bargaining is crucial: in the ultimatum game with its one-sided commitment power the 'proposer' (almost) receives the whole pie while the 'responder' is left with (almost) nothing. When bargaining parties commit simultaneously the symmetric Nash (Econometrica, 1950, vol. 18, pp. 155-162) bargaining solution predicts equal shares. Continuously connecting these two games yields a one-parameter family of games ( Fischer et al. , Experimental Economics, 2006, vol. 9, pp. 17-33) for which we distinguish two Behavioral Dispositions, namely (1) neglecting commitment power and (2) reacting to it strategically. Their pay-off implications define the evolutionary set-up for which we derive the evolutionarily stable Behavioral Disposition. Our analysis sheds light on the hypothesis that in experiments participants neglect strategic aspects such as commitment power.

Evolution in Imperfect Commitment Bargaining – Strategic versus Ignorant Types -
2003Co-Authors: Sven Fischer, Werner Güth, Kerstin PullAbstract:To commit credibly in bargaining is crucial: In the ultimatum game with its one-sided early commitment power the “proposer” gets (nearly) the whole pie while the “responder” is left with (almost) nothing. When both parties commit simultaneously the (a)symmetric Nash(1950)-bargaining solution, however, predicts (more or less) equal shares. Relying on a continuous connection of these two games by a one parameter-family of games (Fischer et al. 2003), we distinguish two Behavioral Dispositions, namely (1) neglecting early commitment and (2) reacting to it strategically. Based on their payoff implications we derive the evolutionarily stable Behavioral Disposition. This sheds new light on the hypothesis that in experiments participants neglect subtle aspects like the sequence of moves.

Prepubertal sons of substance abusers: Influences of parental and familial substance abuse on Behavioral Disposition, IQ, and school achievement
Addictive behaviors, 1995Co-Authors: Howard B. Moss, Michael Vanyukov, Partha P. Majumder, Levent Kirisci, Ralph E. TarterAbstract:In order to better understand the transgeneration liability for a substance abuse disorder, we investigated the impact of parental and familial substance abuse disorders on prepubertal boys. Specifically, the influence of each parent's substance abuse history and the effects of significant family aggregation of substance abuse disorders were tested as predictors of the child's Behavioral Disposition, IQ, and school achievement scores, while controlling for socioeconomic status (SES). Sons of substance abusing fathers were found to have higher externalizing and internalizing problem-behavior scores, lower IQ scores, and lower school achievement scores. Internalizing and externalizing problem-behavior scores were most strongly associated with bilineal parental substance abuse, whereas SES and paternal substance abuse were most strongly associated with IQ and school performance scores. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that although paternal substance abuse has an adverse impact on the son's functioning, bilineal parental substance abuse is associated with the greatest Behavioral deviancy among prepubertal males and is associated with a greater liability for substance abuse.

A Dispositional account of gender
Philosophical Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Jennifer MckitrickAbstract:According to some philosophers, gender is a social role or pattern of behavior in a social context. I argue that these accounts have problematic implications for transgender. I suggest that gender is a complex Behavioral Disposition, or cluster of Dispositions. Furthermore, since gender norms are culturally relative, one’s gender is partially constituted by extrinsic factors. I argue that this has advantages over thinking of gender as behavior, and has the added advantage of accommodating the possibility of an appearance/reality dissonance with respect to one’s gender.
