Initially similar, cooperation rates for groups with different intelligence levels diverge, declining in … groups of lower intelligence, and increasing to reach almost full cooperation levels in groups of higher intelligence …

artificial intelligence may or may not be cooperative. We study the deter-minants and forms of algorithmic cooperation in the … prisoner’s dilemma games played by humans in the lab. We find that the same factors that increase human cooperation largely … also determine the cooperation rates of algorithms. However, algorithms tend to play different strategies than humans …

We study how punishment influences conditional cooperation. We ask two questions: 1) how does conditional cooperation … change if a subject can be punished and 2) how does conditional cooperation change if a subject has the power to punish … cooperation. We find that the possibility of being punished increases the strength of conditional cooperation. At the same time …

Our design uses a Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma, and we compare rates of cooperation … higher cooperation rates and profits than in separated groups (with consistent gains among lower IQ subjects and relatively … evolutionary game theory model, where higher IQ among subjects determines - through better working memory - a lower frequency of …

Understanding the roots of human cooperation among strangers is of great importance for solving pressing social … dilemmas and maintening public goods in human societies.

We study the development of cooperation in 929 young children, aged 3 to 6. In a unified experimental framework, we … examine pre-registered hypotheses about which of three fundamental pillars of human cooperation – direct and indirect … reciprocity, and third-party punishment – emerges earliest as a means to increase cooperation in a repeated prisoner's dilemma …

We analyze cooperation within a company setting in order to study the relationship between cooperative attitudes and … online experiment.
