In many environments\, particularly in politics\, message receivers engage in motivated reasoning\, distorting how they process information in directions they find more attractive. This paper uses two online experiments to study what information senders choose to send to receivers on topics that evoke politically-motivated beliefs. Experiment 1\, conducted using a sample of social media users\, studies the effect of incentivizing senders to be perceived as truthful. These incentives cause senders to send less truthful messages. With these incentives\, senders send more false information when it aligns with receivers' motivated beliefs\, even controlling for receivers' current beliefs. Receivers do not anticipate the adverse effects of senders' incentives. Experiment 2 isolates the role that motivated reasoning plays by constructing an environment in which receivers assess the truthfulness of messages from a computer and senders choose which message to be paid for. Senders predict that politically-motivated reasoning impacts receivers' inference\, they demand information about receivers' political preferences\, and they use the receivers' politics to strategically choose less truthful computer messages.\n(To attend this online event\, please complete the form to receive email instructions and announcements for this and future SBEE Seminars.)

Triples of people that have three positive relations (e.g. friendship) between each other are strongly overrepresented. Triples with two negative (e.g. enmity) and one positive relation are also overrepresented\, triples with one or three negative relations are drastically suppressed. For almost a century\, the mechanism behind this very specific (``balanced'') triad statistics remains elusive. Here we propose a simple realistic adaptive network model where agents tend to minimize social tension that arises from dyadic interactions. Both\, opinions of agents\, and their signed links (positive or negative relations) are updated in the dynamics. The novelty of the model arises from the fact that agents only need information about their local neighbors in the network and do not require (often unrealistic) higher-order network information for their relation- and opinion updates. We demonstrate the quality of the model on detailed temporal relation-data of a society of thousands of players of a massive multiplayer online game where we can observe triangle formation directly. It not only successfully predicts the distribution of triangle types but also explains empirical group-size distributions\, which are essential for social cohesion. We discuss the details of the phase diagrams behind the model\, their parameter dependence\, and comment to what extent the results might apply universally in societies.\n\n*Speaker bio*\nTuan Pham is a PostDoc at the CSH since September 2021.

I dedicate my research program to understanding the role of gender and its ramifications on wellbeing. In this presentation\, I will describe how I study gender identity development with an intersectional\, bioecological framework by analyzing gender at the level of the individual\, within proximal relationships\, and at the cultural level.

For Zoom passcode information\, or to be added to the seminar distribution list\, please email cogsci-seminar-requests@umich.edu.\n\nABSTRACT\nClassical conditioning is a way of learning about one’s environment wherein a previously neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus - CS) gets associated with another stimulus that evokes natural reward (unconditioned stimulus - US). Over several trials informing this pairing\, the animal begins to generate a response (Conditioned response - CR) when only the CS is present. Classical Conditioning as a field encompasses a host of known phenomena about how the CR is affected by manipulating a range of factors in an experiment - the interstimulus interval\, the number of CS-s\, the order in which CS-s appear\, etc. A key challenge in the field is to build a comprehensive computational model that can explain all these phenomena.\n\nWe approached this problem by familiarizing ourselves with some of the most prominent models of classical conditioning as of today so as to understand their shortcomings and build on them. The talk will go into the details of the temporal difference model of classical conditioning (Ludvig et. al 2012) and our attempts in replicating this model. It will also briefly touch upon other well-accepted models and our tentative plan for the project going forward.

These measurements constrain primordial gravitational waves and inflation\, provide new constraints on the dark universe\, map the distribution of matter through gravitational lensing and the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effects\, and measure the time varying millimeter wave sky. Simons Observatory and CMB-S4 represent the next two generations of cosmic microwave background observatories. In this talk I will give an overview of the science these projects will enable\, present the instrument designs\, and discuss the status of these projects. \n\n UID:86613-21635220@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211006T152025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211129T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance: Optimal Paternalistic Savings Policies DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe study optimal savings policies when there is a dual concern about undersaving for retirement and income inequality. Agents differ in present bias and earnings ability\, both unobservable to a planner with paternalistic and redistributive motives. We characterize the solution to this two-dimensional screening problem and provide a decentralization using realistic policy instruments: mandatory savings at low incomes but a choice between subsidized savings vehicles at high incomes--resembling Social Security\, 401(k) and IRA accounts in the US. Offering more savings choice at higher incomes facilitates redistribution. To solve large-scale versions of this problem numerically\, we propose a general\, computationally stable\, and efficient active-set algorithm. Relative to the current US retirement system\, we find significant welfare gains from increasing mandatory savings and limiting savings choice at low incomes.
