We will have 4 tutorials that you can complete:

  1. van Baar, Chang, & Sanfey, 2019 - this looked at different social motives across people (data for Tutorial 1 available here)

  2. Galvan & Sanfey, 2024 - this looked at different social motives across people and across conditions (data for Tutorial 2 available here)

  3. Crockett et al., 2014 - this looked at how a certain social motive changed across conditions in a binary choice task (data for Tutorial 3 available here, note that this data will come from Yu et al., 2022 since the 2014 paper’s dataset is not publicly available)

  4. Li et al., 2022 - this looked at competing social motives within a person in a binary choice task (data for Tutorial 4 available here)

**Please note that Tutorials 3 & 4 are under development **

For all tutorials, we will work through each step as though we want to conduct the research ourselves. So don’t read the articles just yet - let’s work through this process together first! I would really discourage you from doing all the tutorials at once - on your first read-through, choose one tutorial to follow and always try to fully understand the lesson before moving on to the tutorial.

If you are selecting a tutorial and don’t have a preference based on the description above, I recommend doing the first tutorial to start out. I learned how to do computational modeling using this dataset myself and I think it’s a really nice, intuitive exemplar that should be pretty easy to follow and latch your knowledge onto.
