Strategy assortativity and the evolution of parochialism
研究策略同配性如何影响偏狭主义的演化：当同配性足够高时，偏狭主义（只与同组合作）在群体中扩散，否则利己主义（与所有人背叛）占优，且偏狭主义更易在小群体中出现。
This paper investigates the role of strategy assortativity for the evolution of parochialism. Individuals belonging to different groups are matched in pairs to play a prisoner’s dilemma, conditioning their choice on the identity of the partner. Strategy assortativity implies that a player is more likely to be matched with someone playing the same strategy. We find that, if the degree of strategy assortativity is sufficiently high, then parochialism (i.e., cooperate with your own group and defect with others) spreads over a group, while egoism (i.e., defect with everyone) emerges otherwise. Notably, parochialism is more likely to emerge in smaller groups.
