Abstract

To win friends, help the needy, avoid exploitation or influence strangers, people must make decisions that are inherently uncertain. In their compelling and insightful perspective on resolving social uncertainty¹, FeldmanHall and Shenhav (henceforth F&S) join a growing movement combining computational approaches with social psychological theory². F&S identify a range of negative and positive aspects of social uncertainty. Here we offer additional ways to think about social uncertainty and suggest potential avenues for future research.
