The European Association for Decision Making (EADM) is pleased to announce its second Judgment and Decision Making (JDM) Summer School for PhD Students. It will take place from
Friday 15 August to Saturday 23 August 2014
at the
Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn, Germany.
The Summer School will consist of a weeklong program of courses covering issues of methodology in Judgment and Decision Making (JDM) research including hands on courses on:
Methodology in JDM Research (Frank Renkewitz, University of Erfurt) Current methodological debate, efficient research design & theory evaluation. |
Cognitive Modelling (Andreas Glöckner, University of Göttingen) Understanding, implementing, and testing cognitive models of choice. |
Bayesian Approaches to JDM (Benjamin Scheibehenne, University of Basel) Bayesian models for judgment and choice, Bayesian statistics and model comparison for JDM research. |
Anti-social Decision Making and Cheating (Shaul Shalvi, Ben Gurion University) Investigating what and how JDM research can teach us about people’s (im)moral behaviors. |
Introduction to Eye-tracking (Susann Fiedler, MPI Bonn) Eye-tracking as a tool for investigating cognitive processes in JDM including hands on experience with the technology. |
Social Decision Making (Carsten De Dreu, University of Amsterdam) Investigating the basic structures of social dilemmas as they emerge in (small) groups of people and how this translates into (i) social decision, and (ii) negotiating agreement. Special attention will be given to cooperative choice and negotiation strategies among representatives who navigate personal interests, those of their constituents (in-group), and those of the rivaling out-group. |
