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.
