human-like decisions is at the core of agent-based modelling for social simulation, we need theories, models, and methods for building agents that reproduce authentic and realistic features of human deliberation (e.g. the more deprived is a need, the greater is the corrective action) while fitting within the constraints and purposes set by social simulations (e.g. covering specific social phenomena, scalability). </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>The current prevailing approach to model human decision-making in social simulation revolves around random distributions of behaviors, which reduces both the spectrum of possible simulations to cases where decisions can be simplified to distributions and the accuracy of simulations as psychological incoherences and subsequent wrong conclusions can be introduced [1,2,3]. If we want to step up social simulation for improving both the range of phenomena we can cover and the realism of our models, we need our models to be further ingrained in the findings identified by psychology and cognitive sciences. However, the question of how to produce such models and how to balance the extra expenses they entail (e.g. complexity, validation, computational costs) with simulation benefits (e.g. realism, explainability) remain open and is the subject of this track.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>This track is open to all approaches seeking to introduce human-like realism of decision-making within social simulation, which include but are not limited to:</span><o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0cm;padding-inline-start:48px' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>theoretical papers</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> introducing theoretical foundations from human sciences and explaining how they can be integrated within social simulation</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>modelling papers</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> proposing and testing the suitability of psychology-inspired models in social simulations</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>methods & engineering papers</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> introducing support for designers for deciding upon what and how to implement and use human-like agent deliberation processes in practice</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>survey papers</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> reviewing models formerly produced in the (social simulation) field and identifying their strengths and weaknesses and pathways for improvement</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>visions papers</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> identifying areas in society and psychology feature where social simulation can achieve high impact should such a feature be available</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> [1] Castelfranchi, C.
