	abstract = {We present a novel model of decision-making in social tasks for virtual humans. The model considers multiple valuations of the available choices in a decision set according to individual and social factors such as own utility, total group utility, and relative utility. Cultural differences are incorporated using Hofstede{\textquoteright}s dimensional model of culture and affect the decision making process by changing the different weightings of the factors. We have integrated the decision model into the dialogue manager of a virtual human system, and developed protocols and
dialogue capabilities to support virtual humans in playing a simple negotiation game (Ultimatum Game). We present evaluations between both a culturally oriented virtual human and a person and between two virtual
humans (with different culture models).},
