Abstract

In this paper we investigate the question: Can a meta-cognitive model for a mixed-motive bargaining task outperform humans when contesting human players?". In our experiment two parties had to negotiate, with a computer model taking the role of one of the negotiators on half of our trials. Participants were asked to rate their counterpart's agreeability, without knowing whether this was a human or the model. No significant difference in agreeability and absolute score was found, yet the model gained a significantly higher relative score. These findings suggest that even if it only helps to improve relative economical gains, teaching people the meta-cognitive strategy can help them become better negotiators, and will not impair their performance on other relevant performance measures.
