When greediness and self-confidence meet in a social dilemma

A greedy personality is usually accompanied by arrogance and confidence. This work investigates the cooperation success condition in context of biased payoff allocation self-confidence. The first component allows organizer a spatial public goods game to receive different proportion than other participants. second aspect influences micro-level dynamics strategy updates, wherein players can maintain their with certain weight. Analytical results are obtained on square lattices under weak selection limit. If attempts monopolize goods, becomes more attainable. confidence increases, inhibited. Consequently, these elements have conflicting effects cooperation, simultaneous presence result heterogeneous change critical synergy factor. Our theoretical findings underscore subtle implications mutual trait that may manifest as greediness or self-confidence circumstances, which validated through Monte Carlo simulations.
