Reduction in social learning and increased policy uncertainty about harmful intent is associated with pre-existing paranoid beliefs: Evidence from modelling a modified serial dictator game
Fig 2
(A) Generated Harmful Intent (HI) attributions for simulated participants at each level of paranoia at each trial within fair and unfair dictators. Dots represent the mean for each level of paranoia. Lines represent the 95% confidence interval. (B) Generated density distributions for simulated participant HI attributions (red) for each trial (1–6) within unfair and fair dictators for each level of paranoia. (C) Generated Self-Interest (SI) attributions for simulated participants at each level of paranoia at each trial within fair and unfair dictators. Dots represent the mean for each level of paranoia. Lines represent the 95% confidence interval. (D) Generated density distributions for simulated participant SI attributions (blue) for each trial (1–6) within unfair and fair dictators for each level of paranoia. (E) Smoothed linear splines for both simulated participant harmful intent and self-interest attributions by prior paranoia (minimum score = 32).
