Ecological rationality: Convergent decision-making in apes and capuchins.
Behavioural Processes, 2019Humans and other animals appear to defy many principles of economic 'rationality' when making decisions. Here, we use an ecological rationality framework to examine patterns of decision-making across species to illuminate the origins of these strategies.

There is no rationality that is not first ecological
Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2020John Dryzek’s concept of ecological rationality provides a framework for justifying policy decisions on ecological grounds. According to Dryzek, ecological rationality deserves precedence over the other rationalities, such as social, economic, and political, because without a stable biosphere the other realms of human endeavor cannot continue to exist.

Evolution and human behavior, 2019
Why do humans help others? Many theories focus on dimensions like kinship or reciprocity. On their surface, these theories seem unable to explain help directed at fleeting strangers. In response to this puzzle, researchers have proposed that the mind has

ECOLOGICAL RATIONALITY BEYOND CYBERNETICS
Kybernetes, 1978Whereas analogical relations characterized preliterate rationality, logical connections mark literate reasoning. As we enter post‐literate cultures via instant electric media, cybernetic concepts that we have increasingly used to describe human individual and social behavior can no longer keep pace with today's reality; they are now superseded by the ...

State-dependent choice and ecological rationality
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2007Decision makers who minimize costly errors should flexibly adjust the way they trade off competing demands, depending on their current state. We explore how state (amount of hoarded food) affects willingness to take extra predation risk to obtain larger food rewards, particularly in animals that may overemphasize safety.

Trust and ecological rationality in a computing context
ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society, 2013In this paper, I examine a key issue affecting trust in the context of a computing environment, as it affects human agents and artificial agents. Specifically, the paper focuses on the role that "resource conservation" plays in an analysis of moral trust and epistemic trust involving agents.

Statistics, costs and rationality in ecological inference
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992The so-called 'null hypothesis' debate in ecology opened a statistical Pandora's Box. Ecologists were forced to question whether or not decades of pattern analysis had been productive. Over the past few years, the debate has expanded beyond the role of different kinds of statistical hypothesis to include the importance of different types of statistical

Concepts of Rationality in Management Research: From Unbounded Rationality to Ecological Rationality
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011This paper sketches important concepts of rationality. It concentrates on bounded rationality and provides descriptions of the heuristics and bias program and of the fast and frugal heuristics program by Gerd Gigerenzer and colleagues (Gigerenzer, 2002; Gigerenzer, Todd, & the ABC Research Group, 1999; Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000). One objective is to link
