belief and goal sharing dynamics

[hyunjimoon]

action

• asked Johan to share his prior that led to his description "New Yorkers are nice, but Boston people are kind" (2022 summer).

Based on the pooled priors, my goal is to

• explain how nice and kind differs
• predict people's attitude in Boston and NYC
• synthesize this observation with belief-goal sharing dynamics
  -- to develop different persuasion strategy depending on w_i/w_s of agent's objective function f = w_i * f_i + w_s * f_s (i: individual, s: social, w_i + w_s = 1; w_i/w_s is larger in Boston)
