Abstract in brief

  • The article argues that traditional game theory and models based on social preferences struggle to explain why people often cooperate or coordinate in experimental games.
  • It introduces the theory of evidential decision making, which suggests that individuals tend to assume others will make similar choices to their own, maintaining a focus on individual decision-making without needing to consider social preferences.
  • The authors critique the idea of team reasoning, saying it repeats the "group mind" fallacy and that existing experiments do not provide strong evidence to support the notion that people reason as a team rather than individually.]
