Temporary Bluffing Can Be Rewarding in Social Systems: The Case of Romantic Relationships

Abstract: We show in this paper that temporary bluffing has the power of promoting the transition from a bad to a good state in social systems. The analysis is carried out with reference to the simplest unit of interest in Sociology-the couple-but it can be certainly extended to larger social groups. More precisely, an already available mathematical model shows that couples composed of so-called secure individuals with neither too high nor too low appeals have two alternative romantic regimes-one satisfactory and one no… Show more

“…Note that in (11), the delays appear in three terms, which makes the quasi-polynomial much more complex to investigate from analytical point of view. Hence, we do not expect that we will be able to obtain rigorous results for any values of C. However, looking for purely imaginary roots of W allow us to study the existence of the stability switch(es) (as presented in Appendix C) and allow to conclude the following.…”

“…Recall that for m 1 m 2 > C, the state S is locally asymptotically stable for i = 0 (i∈{1,2,3,4}). Looking for purely imaginary eigenvalues, we rewrite the characteristic quasi-polynomial (11) meaning that H 2 is increasing for > 0. This implies that there is a uniquē> 0 for which H 2 (̄) = 0.…”

“…Rinaldi et al [ 21 , 22 , 23 ] proposed more realistic mathematical models for love affairs than the one proposed by Strogatz and Sprott [ 17 , 18 ]. Their papers were based on love stories from novels, theatre, and movies, like, Pride and Prejudice [ 28 , 29 ], Kathe, Jules and Jim [ 30 ], Scarlett and Rhett [ 31 ], Beauty and The Beast [ 32 ], and Roxanne and Cyrano [ 33 ] and deal with relationships of human love.…”
