There are some valid reasons to consider ending this exploration now. Here are some:
Oversimplification & Limited Generalizability
One argument against the application of game theory is that it’s manichean nature may oversimplify complex human behaviours and thus it may fail to capture subjective lived experience contained in the stuff of emotions and values (as well as consideration of contextual factors like power dynamics and social inequalities). Oversimplification can lead to ineffective interventions that do not adequately address the multifaceted nature of burnout.
Game theory models may have limited generalizability to counseling settings, because they cannot fully capture the complexity of human interactions and decision-making processes.
