Researchers have developed a new workflow for creating executable simulations of attitude change theories using generative models. This approach renders theories like cognitive dissonance, self-consistency, and self-perception into actor-environment simulations within the Concordia library. The implementations successfully replicate behavioral patterns from classic psychological experiments, but achieving stable results requires addressing underdetermination in verbal accounts and historical experimental assumptions. The process of iterative model stabilization highlights operational and socio-ecological dependencies not fully documented in the original theories. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and testable psychological models, potentially improving AI's understanding of human behavior and decision-making.
