Reasons for cooperation and defection in real-world social dilemmas [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2014 Interventions to increase cooperation in social dilemmas depend on understanding decision makers' motivations for cooperation or defection. We examined these in five real-world social dilemmas: situations where private interests are at odds with ...

Introspection dynamics: a simple model of counterfactual learning in asymmetric games
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Social behavior in human and animal populations can be studied as an evolutionary process. Individuals often make decisions between different strategies, and those strategies that yield a fitness advantage tend to spread.

Interplay of Elementary Interactions Causing Social Traps in Evolutionary Games
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 In evolutionary games, pair interactions are defined by payoff matrices that can be decomposed into four types of orthogonal elementary games that represent fundamentally different interaction situations.

Economic Harmony—A Rational Theory of Fairness and Cooperation in Strategic Interactions
Games, 2022 Experimental studies show that the Nash equilibrium and its refinements are poor predictors of behavior in non-cooperative strategic games. Cooperation models, such as ERC and inequality aversion, yield superior predictions compared to the standard game ...

Competition and partnership between conformity and payoff-based imitations in social dilemmas
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Learning from a partner who collects a higher payoff is a frequently used working hypothesis in evolutionary game theory. One of the alternative dynamical rules is when the focal player prefers to follow the strategy choice of the majority in the local ...

Institutions and the performance of coupled infrastructure systems
International Journal of the Commons, 2016 Institutions, the rules of the game that shape repeated human interactions, clearly play a critical role in helping groups avoid the inefficient use of shared resources such as fisheries, freshwater, and the assimilative capacity of the environment ...

Counterfactual-Based Action Evaluation Algorithm in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Applied Sciences, 2022 Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have made great achievements in various scenarios, but there are still many problems in solving sequential social dilemmas (SSDs).
