What is DR@W Forum?
DR@W Forum is an interdisciplinary discussion series which focuses on theoretical and empirical research about decision making.
The usual structure of the forum is a 30 - 45 minute introduction of the topic/working paper, with ample additional time for discussion.
The audience prefers discussing work-in-progress topics as opposed to finished papers. We meet on Thursdays between 2:30 and 3:45pm during term time. Contact John Taylor (John.Taylor[at]wbs.ac.uk) if you would like to suggest a speaker for a future event. Notifications of upcoming DR@W Forum events along with other decision research related activities can be obtained by registering with the moderated mailing list - email behaviour_spotlight at newlistserv dot warwick dot ac dot uk to be added to the list.

Abstract: In this project, we investigate how a listener’s awareness of a speaker’s message set affects their interpretation of the speaker’s chosen message. Participants play a prisoner’s dilemma with one-sided pre-play communication from a sender to a receiver. We assess how the receiver’s awareness of the sender’s set of possible alternative statements (including strong, weak, and empty statements) influences the receiver’s beliefs about the sender’s likelihood to cooperate and the receiver’s own likelihood to cooperate.
