From: Cooperation and social organization depend on weighing private and public reputations
Friend-focused (F) agents outcompete Heider (H) agents in the case of high trustiness leading to a regime of highly cooperative, stable, connected, and prosperous populations. Pairwise competitions of FH are illustrated in the case of prioritizing public information (upper panels), prioritizing private information (middle panels) and high trustiness (lower panels), which are obtained by initializing a population with 50% of the two strategies considered. Statistical properties and the probability of decisions taken by friend-focused agents or Heider agents towards same and different type of agents are presented. Cooperation vs exploitation panels illustrate the proportions of pairwise successful cooperation (C–C) and pairwise failed cooperation (C–D, D–C and D–D) considering pairs of same-type agents, and the proportions of pairwise successful exploitation (D–C) and pairwise failed exploitation (C–C, C–D and D–D) between pairs of friend-focused and Heider agents (see colors in the legend). Averages are obtained by running 10 independent simulations and each lasts 5 × 106 steps.
