        For our fourth international workshop, we invited Professor Michael Hechter
        (University  of Washington) to join us. Professor Hechter is a well respected
        researcher in the area of 
        rational choice theory. Based on the presentations of graduate students'
        research conducted  in our program, we discussed various topics from
        a sociological perspective. Such topics 
        included: experimental research on social dilemmas, research using computer
        simulation,  cultural variations in the foundation of trust, group cooperation
        led by group conflicts, 
        and the formation of indirect reciprocity using computer simulation.
        Professor Hechter  also gave a talk about the advantages and disadvantages
        of value measurement. In his 
        talk, he also compared factorial survey methods with ordinary survey
        methods to measure  particular values.
