Equilibrium vengeance

چکیده
This paper introduces two ideas, emotional state dependent utility components (ESDUCs), and evolutionary perfect Bayesian equilibrium (EPBE). Using a simple extensive form game, we illustrate the e¢ciency-enhancing role of a powerful ESDUC, the vengeance motive. Incorporating behavioral noise and observational noise leads to a range of (short run) Perfect Bayesian equilibria (PBE) involving both vengeful and non-vengeful types. We then derive a (long run) non-trivial EPBE where both types survive and reap mutual gains, as well as a trivial EPBE with only the non-vengeful type and no mutual gains. This is an incomplete ...rst draft. Please ask permission before circulating further. Comments of all sorts are very welcome; email [email protected].

by Daniel Friedman and Nirvikar Singh Economics Department UC Santa Cruz May 21, 1999 Abstract Using a simple symmetric game to illustrate, we point out shortcomings in previous theoretical accounts of how the human vengeance motive survives despite a free rider problem.

متن کاملReappraising the situation and its impact on aggressive behavior.
Much work has focused on how reappraisal is related to emotions, but not behaviors. Two experiments advanced aggression theory by (a) testing how cognitive and attributional forms of reappraisal are related to aggressive affect and behavior, (b) testing variables that theoretically mediate the relation between attributional reappraisal and aggressive behavior, (c) testing the moderating influen...
