On the Stability of Social PreferencesProf. Daniel Wiesen from the University of Cologne is guest at the HCHE research seminar

30 June 2025, 4:30 pm

Prof. Daniel Wiesen speaks about altruism as a fundamental aspect of medical professionalism, a behavior, which is shaped in future physicians during their medical education. He studies the stability of patient-regarding altruism using data from a longitudinal behavioral experiment with German medical students (N=1,413 observations). He finds that patient-regarding altruism remains rather stable over time. However, he observes substantial between-subject heterogeneity which is largely due to a large unexplained variance component.

Daniel Wiesen presents his findings on Mon, 30 June 2025 at 16.30 hrs at the HCHE Research Seminar: „On the Stability of Social Preferences“
