Foundations for Cooperation in the Prisoners ’ Dilemma
We provide axiomatic foundations for a simple model of play in prisoners’ dilemma games. The model accommodates cooperation and suggests that players behave as if their expectations about their opponents’ behavior vary with their own choice. We refer to this nonstandard updating as magical thinking. The degree to which players exhibit magical thinking may be heterogeneous in the population and ...
متن کاملTestosterone, facial symmetry and cooperation in the prisoners' dilemma.
Recent research has analyzed how individual characteristics, like the exposure to different hormones and symmetry, affect decision-making and strategic behaviour. The present article investigates the effect of symmetry, of exposure to testosterone (T) in utero and during puberty and of current T on cooperation in a Prisoners' Dilemma Game (PDG). T is a hormone with well known effect on males' b...
متن کاملTheory of Mind Ability and Cooperation in the Prisoners Dilemma
The ability to accurately assess others’ intents, beliefs, and emotions – called Theory of Mind (ToM) – is conjectured to be important for social cooperation. We study the role of ToM ability in fostering cooperation in the simultaneous and sequential prisoners dilemma (PD) games. Our norm-based model predicts that high ToM ability individuals will believe in more cooperation and cooperate at h...
متن کاملCooperation, Secret Handshakes, and Imitation in the Prisoners' Dilemma
In the prisoners’ dilemma game, the only evolutionarily stable strategy is defection, even though mutual cooperation yields a higher payoff. Building on a paper by Robson (1990), we introduce mutants who have the ability to send a (costly) signal, i.e., the “secret handshake,” before each round of the game and to condition their actions on whether or not they observe the same signal from their ...
متن کاملCooperation and Local Interactions in the Prisoners ’ Dilemma Game
* I want to thank Hans Haller and Mark Stegeman for their valuable suggestions and support. The paper benefited from the comments of participants in the 1997 SITE Summer Workshop. Abstract We consider a population of players playing a Prisoners' Dilemma Game in a local interaction setting, using a formalism of automata networks. Sufficient conditions for existence of an equilibrium where cooper...
