Figure 1

Illustration of the signal transmission and attitude formation components of the model. Left: A proportion s of the population is similar. Overt signals are received by a proportion R of the total population, while covert signals are received by a proportion r < R of similar individuals only. Right: Generous receivers default to a neutral attitude in the absence of a signal, while churlish receivers dislike the signaler unless they know he or she is similar.
