Often the "rational actor" or "homo-economicus" is used as tool to model human behaviour, despite we know that human behaviour is more complex. The computational modelling of behavioural theories remains a big challenge. With a team we addressed this challenge for social-ecological systems. The develop framework is applied for a few mainstream theories, and may be suitable for a wide variety of social complex domains.
