Is hostile behavior intuitive? A Hawk-Dove experiment with a varying harshness of conflict
Abstract: In the context of a one-shot Hawk-Dove game, we experimentally investigate the effects of the mode of reasoning – deliberative or intuitive – on the propensity to behave hostilely (like a Hawk), and we assess whether this effect, if any, becomes more or less pronounced when varying the harshness of the conflict. Our results show that deliberation (intuition) decreases (increases) the likelihood of behaving hostilely and that these effects do not depend on the harshness of the conflict.
