TLDR
It is shown that automatic, intuitive responses favor cooperative strategies that reciprocate: it is argued that this behavior reflects the overgeneralization of cooperative strategies learned in the context of direct and indirect reciprocity.

The descent of man and selection in relation to sex

TL;DR: For instance, when a dog sees another dog at a distance, it is often clear that he perceives that it is a dog in the abstract; for when he gets nearer his whole manner suddenly changes, if the other dog be a friend as discussed by the authors.

Statistical physics of human cooperation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review experimental and theoretical research that advances our understanding of human cooperation, focusing on spatial pattern formation, on the spatiotemporal dynamics of observed solutions, and on self-organization that may either promote or hinder socially favorable states.

Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction

TL;DR: The book describes experiments in Strategic Interaction using game theory as a guide to solving social problems.

Evolutionary stability in repeated games played by finite automata

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a game in which "meta-players" choose finite automata to play a repeated stage game and find that such automata must be efficient, in that they must maximize the sum of the (limit-of-the-means) payoffs from the repeated game.

How infants and toddlers react to antisocial others

TL;DR: Although adults generally prefer helpful behaviors and those who perform them, there are situations (in particular, when the target of an action is disliked) in which overt antisocial acts are seen as appropriate, and thoseWho perform them are viewed positively, the developmental origins of this capacity for selective social evaluation are explored.

The leading eight: Social norms that can maintain cooperation by indirect reciprocity

TL;DR: The keys to the success in indirect reciprocity are to be nice (maintenance of cooperation among themselves), retaliatory (detection of defectors, punishment, and justification of punishment), apologetic, and forgiving.

Human strategy updating in evolutionary games

TL;DR: This work presents a way to measure properties of the update mechanisms used in theoretical models of cultural evolution in a behavioral experiment and finds that spontaneous strategy changes corresponding to mutations or exploration behavior are more frequent than assumed in many models.

Equilibrium behavior and repeated play of the prisoner's dilemma

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the prisoner's dilemma in which the nature of the Nash equilibria of the game can be varied is examined and two equilibrium indices are derived and compared with two cooperation indices proposed by Rapoport and Chammah.
