As Camerer makes clear, "the goal is not to ´disprove´game theory (a common reaction of psychologists and sociologists) but to improve it by establishing regularity, which inspires new theory" (pp.20/21. Correspondingly, throughout the book Camerer´s method is to review dozens of experiments, to identify behavioral regularities that can be extracted from them, and then to confront these regularities with the sharp predictions of canonical game theory.

Jak praví Camerer, cílem není vyvrátit teorii her (běžná reakce psychologů a sociologů) nýbrž ji zlepšit zavedením pravidelnosti, která bude inspirací pro novou teorii. Tomu odpovídá Camererova metoda v této knize, která přezkoumává množství experimentů, aby identifikovala behaviorální pravidelnosti, které je z nich možné získat, a pak tyto pravidelnosti konfrontovat se standardní teorií her.
