description: This thesis has its point of departure in experimental economic research and has two main objectives: First, six experimental studies ask and answer questions on human behaviour. The first three studies all centre around identity and belonging. The second three studies have a wide range of topics, from motivated information sampling to algorithm aversion to behaviour when defaults change. Second, all studies use different models on how to construct the experimental framework. The first three studies all use different angles to define what “identity” means in an experimental context. The second three studies all involve features that are beyond the immediate control of the researcher and thereby extend the classical experimental framework, where the experimenter controls everything besides the behaviour of the participants.
