Research interests:

I am a postdoctoral fellow. In my dissertation work at Hokkaido University, my research interest was focused on ingroup favoring behavior and generalized exchange that takes place within groups. Currently I am focusing research effort on the mechanisms and maintenance of cooperation with strangers. I am also interested in trusting behavior toward strangers, endogenous institutions, and emergence of status and power within groups.

 

Research keywords:

Cooperation, sanctioning system, altruism, indirect reciprocity, social exchange, social norms, endogenous institutions, trust, social dominance, leadership, and power, etc.

 

Education:

Ph.D. in Behavioral Science, Hokkaido University, Hokkaido, Japan (2002, March).

Supervisor: Dr. Toshio Yamagishi

Dissertation title: Social exchange heuristic: cognitive bases for ingroup bias and reciprocity. (In Japanese)
