Abstract: This thesis presents a series of studies to test theories of strategic interaction in distinct environments. The topics of these studies include human social preferences (on how much people care about others’ welfare), people’s response to the information on others’ preferences and histories in a social dilemma, and peoples’ competing behavior in contests. A common theme of all these studies presented in this thesis is the adoption of laboratory experiments in testing theories.
