“Modeling Self-Deception within a Decision-Theoretic Framework” by Jonathan Ito, David Pynadath, and Stacy Marsella. Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, vol. 20, no. 1, Jan. 2010, pp. 3-13.
Computational modeling of human belief maintenance and decision-making processes has become increasingly important for a wide range of applications. In this paper, we present a framework for modeling the human capacity for self-deception from a decision-theoretic perspective in which we describe an integrated process of wishful thinking which includes the determination of a desired belief state, the biasing of internal beliefs towards or away from this desired belief state, and the final decision-making process. Finally, we show that in certain situations self-deception can be beneficial.
