How People Use Social Information to Find out What to Want in the Paradigmatic Case of Inter-temporal Preferences
Fig 3
The difference between m-for-self after learning and before learning as a function of partner’s preference.
This difference (ordinate) is plotted against the difference between m -for-other and m-for-self-before-learning. Two clusters form because we exposed participants to others that were 2.3 ln units away in modal preference (in either direction). Red is the identity line (fully adopting other's preference). Green is the linear regression line. It has a positive slope as expected (p ~ 0.0), but a negative intercept, denoting a slight overall bias for shifting towards more patient preferences.
