Biotic individuals often compare their own payoffs with those of others, which results in endogenetic emotions ranging from compassion to harshness towards a weaker player or from respect to envy feeling against a stronger fellow. Consequently, the individual reaction can be a cooperative or defect act. Our paper establishes possible interactions between emotional characteristics and behaviour modes of individuals. For this purpose, a genetic algorithm is used to study the evolutionary process within the framework of a Prisoner's Dilemma game. Our results highlight that the diversity of emotions can emerge spontaneously that is fruitful for the general cooperative act. Furthermore, it turned out that compassion is more important than respect, but both attitudes have better adaptability than harshness or envy feeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
