“…18 Sharing this goal, several recent works in decision theory emphasize the importance of 'reasons for choice' or 'psychological states' over and above the choice behaviour induced by them. Some of these works explicitly employ mentalist terminology, such as 'epistemic states', 'knowledge', and 'beliefs' in epistemic game theory (e.g., Aumann and Brandenburger 1995); 'belief-dependent emotions' in psychological games (Geanakoplos and Pearce 1989); 'emotions' such as 'anger' or 'fear' (Elster 1998;Loewenstein 2000); 'thinking' and 'feeling' (Romer 2000); 'intrinsic' and 'extrinsic motivations', 'ego boosting' and 'ego bashing' (Bénabou and Tirole 2003); 'rationales' (Manzini and Mariotti 2007;Cherepanov et al 2013);'moods' and 'mindsets' (Manzini and Mariotti 2012); 'motivating reasons' and 'weighing of reasons' (Dietrich and List 2013a;2013b;2015); 'experiences' (Dietrich 2012); and 'the minds of checklist users' (Mandler et al 2012).…”

Behaviourism is the view that preferences, beliefs, and other mental states in socialscientific theories are nothing but constructs re-describing people's behaviour. Mentalism is the view that they capture real phenomena, on a par with the unobservables in science, such as electrons and electromagnetic fields. While behaviourism has gone out of fashion in psychology, it remains influential in economics, especially in 'revealed preference' theory. We defend mentalism in economics, construed as a positive science, and show that it fits best scientific practice. We distinguish mentalism from, and reject, the radical neuroeconomic view that behaviour should be explained in terms of brain processes, as distinct from mental states.

“…Menurut Dietrich dan List (2013), preferensi itu bergantung pada property of alternatif dan kondisi yang memotivasi agen. Alternatif tersebut dapat berupa konsekuensi tindakan, kondisi sosial, sekelompok barang, atau struktur kebijakan, sedangkan property yang dimaksud adalah karakteristik kemungkinan memiliki alternatif.…”

PREFERENSI DAN MOTIVASI MASYARAKAT LOKAL DALAM PEMANFAATAN SUMBERDAYA HUTAN DI TAMAN NASIONAL LORE LINDU, PROVINSI SULAWESI TENGAH (Preference and Motivation of Local Community in Utilization of Forest Resource in Lore Lindu National Park)

AbstrakBanyak pihak masih meragukan nilai masyarakat terkait hutan alasan bahwa masyarakat lokal itu adalah perusak hutan, tidak dapat membatasi konsumsinya terhadap sumberdaya hutan dan dipandang sebagai masalah dalam konservasi sumberdaya hutan. Akibatnya, kebijakan pengelolaan hutan yang melibatkan masyarakat masih menjadi bahan perdebatan, utamanya dalam pengelolaan kawasan konservasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran tentang preferensi dan motivasi masyarakat lokal terhadap pemanfaatan sumberdaya hutan di kawasan Taman Nasional Lore Lindu (TNLL) provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode survei, yang dilaksanakan pada dua tipe komunitas masyarakat lokal di sekitar TNLL yakni masyarakat desa homogen dan masyarakat desa heterogen. Data preferensi pemanfaatan hutan diperoleh melalui metode skor dengan menggunakan distribusi kartu yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat lokal, sedangkan data motivasi diperoleh melalui wawancara kepada masyarakat menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai preferensi kegunaan hutan yang tertinggi bagi masyarakat lokal adalah kegunaan hutan untuk perlindungan dan pengaturan air. Nilai tertinggi preferensi kegunaan hutan di zona rimba kompatibel dengan tujuan pengelolaan TNLL, sedangkan di zona pemanfaatan dan zona rehabilitasi masih ditemukan nilai preferensi yang tertinggi yang tidak kompatibel dengan tujuan pengelolaan TNLL. Masyarakat lokal yang bermukim di sekitar TNLL tidak hanya memiliki motivasi atas dasar kebutuhan material yang tinggi terhadap sumberdaya di TNLL tetapi juga memiliki motivasi sosial yang tinggi dan bahkan memiliki motivasi moral yang sangat tinggi. Dengan demikian, masyarakat lokal itu perlu dilibatkan dalam pengelolaan taman nasional melalui pengaturan institusi yang tepat.Kata kunci: preferensi, motivasi, masyarakat lokal, hutan, taman nasional. Abstract Many people still doubt the value of local community related to forest, because they think that the local communities are destroyers of the forest, cannot limit their consumption to forest resources and become a problem of forest resource conservation. Consequently, forest management policy involving the local community is still a subject of debate, especially in the management of protected areas. This research aims to provide an overview of the preferences and motivations of local communities to use forest resources in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), Central Sulawesi province. This research applied a survey method and was conducted on two types of local communities around the village community LLNP -homogeneous and heterogeneous village communities. Data on forest utilization preferences

“…Thus, when an agent prefers most the good that is for him relatively scarce, it might be too expensive (and thus not feasible) to assign to change how fixed underlying preferences manifest (see Karni and Schmeidler, 1990). Third, preferences can vary according to the different motivational states -determined by motivationally salient properties like varying technology and environment -through which alternatives are ranked (see Dietrich and List, 2013). Forth, commodities might be interpreted as Lancaster's characteristics (intrinsic properties of goods) for which different preferences represent varying consumption technology (Lancaster, 1966).…”

Distributional equity deeply conflicts with the Pareto principle: efficient allocations cannot guarantee that i) each generation be assigned a consumption bundle that is at least as large as an arbitrarily small fraction of the bundle assigned to any other generation and that ii) each generation finds its assigned bundle at least as desirable as an arbitrarily small fraction of the bundle assigned to any other generation with same preferences. Overcoming such tension unveils a new ethical dilemma for intergenerational equity: the short-term/long-term inequality trade-off. The egalitarian ethical observer can choose between: i) "weak equity" among all generations (at the cost of possibly large inequalities among proximate ones) and ii) "strong equity" among few successive generations (at the cost of possibly large inequalities among distant ones). The last alternative is specific to the dynamic framework and provides a rationale to treat generations differently based on their time order. Terms of use: Documents in
