GUEST EDITOR
Special
Issue on "Evolutionary Approaches to Group Research" in Group Processes and Intergroup
Relations (Vol. 7, Number 4, 2004; with R. Scott Tindale).
CURRENT RESEARCH
My current research centers
on analyzing social behavior/cognition from an evolutionary/adaptationist
perspective, by combining evolutionary games and computer simulations with
behavioral experiments systematically (cf. Kameda & Murata, 2000; Kameda
& Hastie, 2004). For the past few years, I have focused
on how people handle various uncertainty associated with resource supply and
information provision collectively.
Examples include research on development of a social sharing norm under
uncertainty (Kameda, Takezawa, & Hastie, 2003; Kameda, Takezawa, Tindale,
& Smith, 2002), roles of social/cultural learning in a non-stationary
uncertain environment (Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002, 2003), adaptive group
decision heuristics (Hastie & Kameda, 2005),
collective risk-monitoring (Kameda & Tamura, 2007), and so on. I am also interested in
mathematical modeling of consensus formation processes in small groups on the
one hand and decision/policy-making processes in organizations on the other
(e.g., Kameda, 1997; Kameda, Tindale, & Davis, 2003). I have strong side interests in
anthropology, biology, economics, political science, and law.
