Models like Fehr and Schmidt's inequity phobia (1999) and Bolton and Ockenfels' ERC (2000) demonstrate that people value relative distribution and fair treatment. Additionally, moral preferences, influenced by strong ethical principles, can lead individuals to act against their financial interests, as seen in deontological ethics (Kant, 1785). The impact of language on behavior is also examined, with framing and metaphors playing crucial roles in shaping perceptions and actions. Liberman et al. (2004) provide evidence that linguistic framing affects cooperation. This paradigm shift in behavioral economics emphasizes the need for new models and experimental setups that consider language's influence on preferences and decision-making, aiming for a more holistic understanding of human behavior in economic contexts.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>Behavioral Economics</kwd><kwd> Social Preferences</kwd><kwd> Moral Preferences</kwd><kwd> Normal-Form Games</kwd><kwd> Language-Based Preferences</kwd><kwd> Paradigm Shift</kwd><kwd> Experimental Economics</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>This work did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for its research, authorship, or publication.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>This article does not involve the sharing of data.</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors state that they have no conflicts of interest regarding this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author handled all aspects of the study, including its design, data collection, analysis, and manuscript preparation.</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>This work did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for its research, authorship, or publication.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>This study does not pertain to any software or tools usage.</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>I am grateful for the expertise and help provided by all who contributed to this study and manuscript, and for the comments from anonymous reviewers.</p></ack><ref-list content-type="authoryear"><ref id="1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>-</p></element-citation></ref></ref-list></back></article>
