1. Influence of Cognitive Control and Affective Control on Risk Taking in Adolescents

Department of Science and Technology (DST) Research Project (Ongoing)

Investigators: Madhavi Rangaswamy, Harishankar Moosath, Shradha Venkataramanan (Research scholar)

This is a Department of Science and Technology funded project sanctioned in November 2015. The differential speed of development of affective processing and self regulation during adolescence creates a window of opportunity to express risky behavior. This study aimed to determine the differences in the relationships between (1) cognitive and affective functioning, (2) Executive functions and Risk Taking, (3) Risk taking, Impulsivity and Sensation Seeking - in early vs late adolescence.

4. Exploring differences in Bargaining Power and its influence on Offer Magnitudes: Variations on the Ultimatum Game

Minor Rwesearch Project, Center for Research, CHRIST (Deemed to be) University (Ongoing)

Investigators: Harishankar Moosath, Madhavi Rangaswamy, Adhiraj Choudhury (Research scholar)

This is a quantitative study using economic games to understand the effect of shift in bargaining power from the Proposer to the Responder. In the treatments that are being implemented, combinations of three economic games, namely the Ultimatum Game, Punishment Game and Impunity Game, are being used. The variable of primary importance is the offer magnitude. The hypothesis is that greater the shift in bargaining power towards the Responder, greater will be the offer magnitude.
