Belief Elicitation and Information Search in Normal-Form Games. An Eye-Tracking Study

We study the influence of belief elicitation on behavior and information search pattern in normal form games. Using eye-tracking, we analyse the hypotheses that 1) people will take the opponent's payoff more into account after (compared to before) the have been asked to form beliefs, 2) that people will show a one-sided search pattern when forming beliefs, taking much less into account their own payoff
