TL;DR: In this paper, a modular social cognition theory explanation for the discrepancy between rational choice theory and individual choice is proposed, where individuals have evolved specialized cognitive capabilities for dealing with exchange relations and these very human capabilities do not operate by the same logic as rational choice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine contracting between a principal and an agent from the perspective of both social exchange theory and rational choice theory and find that exchange theory appears to provide a better basis for deriving principles of organization design than rational choice.

TL;DR: The evidence that individuals systematically violate Bayes' theorem under certain conditions is surveyed and two experiments designed to test whether individuals follow Bayesian reasoning and whether groups are able to overcome biased individual information processing are reported.
