In any society, one of the main challenges is to tackle tensions between what is best for the individual and what is best for the group. This project aspires to take a closer look at two of the most prominent solutions, namely personal sacrifice and mutual agreement (contracts). Specifically, the project aims to develop new models of dutifulness and contracting and to confront them with both existing and new evidence.
The project builds upon a conceptual framework that the team has already developed, and data that has already been collected. When the theory has been tested in a laboratory setting, it is to be taken to the field in order to explore how to efficiently create duties and maintain dutifulness in relevant real-life settings.
