Altruistic punishment in humans

Altruistic punishment of defectors is a key motive for human cooperation, with negative emotions towards defectors acting as a proximate mechanism.

Cooperation through indirect reciprocity: image scoring or standing strategy?

Image scoring strategy is more evolutionary stable than standing strategies, with donors compensating for not helping constant 'NO players' by being more generous to others.

Evolution of cooperation without reciprocity

Cooperation can emerge when agents donate to others similar to themselves in arbitrary characteristics, without needing memory of past encounters or reciprocity.

Reward and punishment

Reputation is essential for fostering social behavior among selfish agents, with its effectiveness being significantly more effective with punishment than with reward.

A meta-analytic investigation into the pay-it-forward phenomenon: The roles of individualism-collectivism and social distance

Individuals with collectivistic orientations are more likely to engage in pay-it-forward behavior, with social distance having a less pronounced impact on them, mediated by the strength of reciprocity norms.

Costly punishment sustains indirect reciprocity under low defection detectability.

Costly punishment effectively promotes cooperation within indirect reciprocity when defection is difficult to detect, enhancing the evolutionary stability of these norms.

Indirect reciprocity under opinion synchronization.

The stability of cooperation depends on the extent to which individual opinions are correlated, with no cooperative norm being evolutionaryally stable when opinions are statistically independent.
