A cooperative-competitive perspective of ownership necessitates an understanding of ownership disagreements

Behav Brain Sci. 2023 Oct 10:46:e333. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23001486.

Abstract

Boyer's cognitive model of ownership, based on cooperation and competition, underscores the importance of studying disagreements in ownership. We argue that exploring the factors that can lead to different perceptions and experiences of ownership will uniquely inform our understanding of legal, psychological, and perceived ownership beliefs.
