Designing a mood-mediated multi-level reasoner
Gomes, Samuel; Rocha, José Bernardo; Dias, João; Martinho, CarlosPsychology-oriented research extensively studied how affect influences human decision making. Particularly, the cognitive tuning assumption suggests that mood can serve to regulate between shallow and deliberative decisions - a more negative mood means higher deliberation. This work proposes a model that mimics the cognitive tuning assumption. To that end, the Collective Risk Dilemma (CRD) game For the Planet w...

Diversity of Useful Plants in Cabo Verde Islands: A Biogeographic and Conservat...
Duarte, Maria Cristina; Gomes, Isildo; Catarino, Sílvia; Brilhante, Miguel; Gomes, Samuel; Rendall, Aline; Moreno, Ângela; Fortes, Arlindo RodriguesCabo Verde’s biodiversity is threatened by activities that meet human needs. To counteract this, an integration of scientific and indigenous knowledge is required, but no comprehensive list of the useful local plants is available. Thus, in this work, we assess (1) their diversity and phytogeography; (2) the role of geophysical, historical, and socio-economic factors on species distribution and uses; and (3) pot...

Weighing how incentives influence in-game behavior, our study examines individual and altruistic interactions in the con...

The influence of reward on the social valence of interactions
Alves, Tomas; Gomes, Samuel; Dias, João; Martinho, CarlosThroughout the years, social norms have been promoted as an informal enforcement mechanism for achieving beneficial collective outcomes. Among the most used methods to foster interactions, framing the context of a situation or setting in-game rules have shown strong results as mediators on how an individual interacts with their peers. Nevertheless, we found that there is a lack of research regarding the use of ...
