Moral emotions and partnership

Journal of Economic Psychology, 2013, vol. 39, issue C, 313-326

Abstract: Actual behaviour is influenced in important ways by moral emotions, for instance guilt or shame. The framework of dynamic psychological games allows the economic modelling of such emotions. Our experimental study uses psychological scales to measure individuals’ dispositions to experience guilt/shame and analyses the role these emotions play in a partnership situation that features moral hazard.
