Design, Conduct and Analysis of a Biased Voting Experiment on Human Behavior

摘要

To explore whether and how different social activities and phenomena, network structures and incentive machanisms could influent human behavior in social networks, Prof. Kearns and his colleagues conducted a series of human participated behavior experiments. Recently, we recurred one of those experiments called biased voting to verify whether and how the factors work on Chinese students. In this paper, we presented not only on the difference we found in the result, but also the design and preparation of the experiment to make some contributions to researchers who are interested in such experiments. We shared our source code and experiment data so that new experiments can be conducted quickly and easily.
