When Do Nice Guys Finish First?


Pat Barclay is an Associate Professor who is cross-appointed in Psychology and the Bachelor of Arts & Sciences program (BAS) at Guelph. He applies evolutionary theory to understand why people help others: he blends social psychology, evolutionary biology, experimental economics, anthropology, and mathematical game theory to make new predictions about when, where, and how much helping will occur, by whom and to whom. His experiments often involve experimental “games”: simplified scenarios where people have conflicting motives about helping themselves versus helping others, and which involve real money… so people love to participate!
