As degree of exploration decreases, better results are ...

Appraisal theories (Roseman and Smith, 2001) are psychological theories exploring how humans evaluate situations along a number of appraisal dimensions, many of which compare the situation to the current goals.

We argue that agents with similar individual autonomy and power experience an adjusted level of autonomy and power due to being in a group of like agents. We then illustrate o...
