Believing mutually is an important premise to ensure that cooperation among multiple agents goes smoothly. However, mutual belief among agents is always considered for granted. In this paper, we adapt a method based on the position-exchange principle to reason about mutual belief among agents. To reason about mutual belief formally, we first use a process algebra approach, the pi-calculus, to f...

In 1991, the Republic of Turkey became first country to recognize independence Kazakhstan. Such a friendly act has become very important moral support for young state. Along with common cultural and historical roots between two countries, comprehensive offered by in years formed basis rapid dynamic development bilateral relations. The dynamics Turkish-Kazakh relations construction these at leve...

We test a two-stage compensation mechanism for promoting cooperation in Prisoner’s Dilemma games. Players first simultaneously choose binding non-negative amounts to pay their counterparts for cooperating, and then play the induced game knowing these amounts. In our games, all payment pairs consistent with mutual cooperation in subgame-perfect equilibrium transform these games into coordination...

Cooperation is pervasive and constitutes the core behavioral principle of human social life. Previous studies have revealed that mutual cooperation was reliably correlated with two reward-related brain regions, the ventral striatum and the orbitofrontal cortex. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this study sought to investigate how the loss and gain contexts modulated the neura...

The paper aims to extend the findings of a previous study (Grinberg et al., 2012) exploring the impact of social relations on the cooperation in the Prisoner’s dilemma game. Relations between players are manipulated by assigning different roles. The roles embodied the four basic types of human relations in line with Fiske’s relational models theory (Fiske, 1991): communal sharing, authority ran...

Believing mutually is one important premise to ensure that cooperation among multiple agents goes smoothly. However, mutual belief among agents is always considered for granted. In this paper, we adapt a method based on the position-exchange principle (PEP) to reason about mutual belief among agents before cooperation starts. By reasoning about mutual belief among agents, we can judge whether c...

this study is intended to investigate the level of public-private cooperation in the process of agricultural development from the view point of potential investors and producers. to achieve this objective we used an adjusted jensen model as a conceptual framework for cooperation. in this process mutual responsibilities is provided to reveal different dimensions of strategic cooperation between ...

We provide evidence on how cooperation rates vary across payoff parameters in the Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD), using four one-shot games that differ only in the payoffs from mutual cooperation. In our experiment, participants play only the PD game, and play the game once and only once, so there are no potential confounds or methodological issues. Our results show that higher monetary payoffs from c...

We propose that a "social exchange heuristic" is as important as the cheater detection mechanism for attaining mutual cooperation in social exchange. The social exchange heuristic prompts people to perceive a mixed-motive situation, such as the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD), as an Assurance Game (AG) situation in which cooperation is a personally better choice than defection insofar as the partner is...
