Voluntary Play in Serious Games
Voluntariness is an important feature of games. Serious game designers intend to generate engaging gameplay, which implies that voluntary play should be equally important for serious games as for entertainment games. This paper describes the outcome of a study on the impact of voluntariness on learning in a serious game. The results of 19 participants, randomly assigned to voluntary and mandato...
متن کاملAuctioning the Right to Play Ultimatum Games and the Impact on Equilibrium Selection
We auction scarce rights to play the Proposer and Responder positions in ultimatum games. As a control treatment, we randomly allocate these rights and charge exogenous participation fees. These participation fee sequences match the auction price sequence from a session of the original treatment. With endogenous selection via auctions, we find that play converges to a session-specific Nash equi...
متن کاملEquilibrium play in matches: Binary Markov games
We study two-person extensive form games, or “matches,” in which the only possible outcomes (if the game terminates) are that one player or the other is declared the winner. The winner of the match is determined by the winning of points, in “point games.” We call these matches binary Markov games. We show that if a simple monotonicity condition is satisfied, then (a) it is a Nash equilibrium of...
متن کاملLearning to be Fair in Multiplayer Ultimatum Games: (Extended Abstract)
We study a multiplayer extension of the well-known Ultimatum Game (UG) through the lens of a reinforcement learning algorithm. Multiplayer Ultimatum Game (MUG) allows us to study fair behaviors beyond the traditional pairwise interaction models. Here, a proposal is made to a quorum of Responders, and the overall acceptance depends on reaching a threshold of individual acceptances. We show that ...
متن کاملChimpanzees play the ultimatum game.
Is the sense of fairness uniquely human? Human reactions to reward division are often studied by means of the ultimatum game, in which both partners need to agree on a distribution for both to receive rewards. Humans typically offer generous portions of the reward to their partner, a tendency our close primate relatives have thus far failed to show in experiments. Here we tested chimpanzees (Pa...
