Personality Engineering with AI Agents: A New Methodology for Negotiation Research
A new methodology called personality engineering utilizes AI agents to enhance negotiation research. This approach allows for precise manipulation and evaluation of negotiator personality traits, addressing limitations faced by human negotiators. The methodology is based on the interpersonal circumplex, focusing on warmth and dominance as key dimensions.
- ▪Personality engineering uses AI agents to improve negotiation research.
- ▪The methodology allows for precise parameterization and evaluation of negotiator personality.
- ▪It is based on the interpersonal circumplex, emphasizing warmth and dominance.
