Fast-and-slow models of prosociality posit that people intuitively favour one of these choices (the selfish choice in some models, the prosocial choice in other models), and need to correct this intuition through deliberation in order to make the other choice. We present 7 studies that force us to reconsider this longstanding “corrective” dual process view. Participants played various economic games in which they had to choose between a prosocial and a selfish option. We used a two-response paradigm in which participants had to give their first, initial response under time-pressure and cognitive load. Next, participants could take all the time they wanted to reflect on the problem and give a final response. This allowed us to identify the intuitively generated response that preceded the final response given after deliberation. Results consistently showed that both prosocial and selfish responses were predominantly made intuitively rather than after deliberate correction. Pace the deliberate correction view, the findings indicate that making prosocial and selfish choices does typically not rely on different types of reasoning modes (intuition vs deliberation) but rather on different types of intuitions. date: 2021-05 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/125605 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: TRUE view_date_year: 2021 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 21-1213 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 54 institution: Université Toulouse 1 Capitole. department: Toulouse School of Economics. book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:125605 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: institution harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd oai_lastmod: 2024-04-15T15:05:04Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE hal_id: hal-04164426 hal_passwd: o2qfelu7 hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.science/hal-04164426 citation: Bago, Bence, Bonnefon, Jean-François and De Neys, Wim (2021) Intuition rather than deliberation determines selfish and prosocial choices.
