Reflectivity relates differently to pro sociality in naïve and strategic subjects

Abstract Is pro sociality a natural impulse or the result of a self-controlled behavior? We investigate this issue in a lab in the field experiment with participants from the general adult population in Italy. We find two key results: first, that there is a positive relationship between pro socialit...
