Somewhat tangential: This paper is interesting, some parts of it strike me as very “big if true”, particularly the part where QCAE Online Simulation had a correlation of 0.44 with learning rate for prosocial actions. However, their sample size is ultra-low, so I wonder, do you know if it has been independently replicated with a proper sample size and/or pregistration?
(Specifically the thing that strikes me as big is that QCAE Online Simulation is a personality self-report test while the learning rate is an objective measure, and usually objective measures can’t measure the traits that personality self-reports can.)
Agreed that the correlation between the modeling result and the self-report is impressive, with the caveat that the sample size is small enough not to take the specific r-value too seriously. In a quick search, I couldn’t find a replication of the same task with a larger sample, but I did find a meta-analysis that includes this task which may be interesting to you! I’ll let you know if I find something better as I continue to read through the literature :)
