Project Description
A research apprentice would work on the data generated using experimental methods to understand group choices. The project is aimed to answer the question whether groups with a weak (at risk) member are more likely to make safer choices (for example, in a pandemic), leading them to a better outcome at the end than a group without a weak member.
Technology or Computational Component
The project involves gathering data using an interface created by the researcher with the help of a research apprentice. The collected data will be formatted and analyzed using R. The project is aimed to answer the question whether groups with a weak (at risk) member are more likely to make safer choices (for example, in a pandemic), leading them to do better at the end than a group without a weak member.
