Overview

This special issue examines how artificial agents (Algorithms, LLMs, robots, embodied AI) influence core economic‑psychology phenomena, such as judgment, fairness, trust, social norms, and cooperation. It seeks experimental evidence comparing human–AI and human–human interactions, emphasizing causal mechanisms in individual and team settings.

Key Themes

• Behavioral Comparisons: Experimental studies on bargaining, negotiation, or cooperation with AI vs. humans.

• Cognitive and Emotional Mechanisms: Neural, emotional, and cognitive drivers of human responses to AI (e.g., trust, empathy).

• Social Dynamics: Communication, norms, and coordination in mixed human–AI teams.

• Fairness and Morality: Judgments of AI decisions on bias, responsibility, and ethics.

• Transparency and Embodiment: Effects of AI transparency, design, or embodiment on decision‑making.

• Cross‑disciplinary Links: Impacts on sociology, law, and related fields.

Submissions: Experimental (lab, field, online, meta‑analyses, data‑driven studies). No purely theoretical work.
