Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Based on a signaling game model, we predicted that people will perceive costly apologies more sincere than no cost apologies. To test this prediction, we conducted a series of vignette and laboratory experiments. In vignette experiments, participants were asked to imagine that their friend committed a personal transgression to them, and made either a costly or no cost apology to them. In the laboratory experiment, an experimental confederate made an unfair allocation of a certain amount of money between him/her and participants, and made either a costly or no cost apology. In these experiments, participants found costly apologies sincerer than no cost apologies.
