Abstract

This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: Coleman, A.A.; Colman, A.M.; Thomas, R.M., ‘Cooperation without awareness: A multiperson generalization of the minimal social situation’ in Behavioral Science, 1990, 35 (2), pp. 115-121, which has been published in final form at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bs.3830350204/abstract.

Highlights

  • The minimal social situation, first described by Sidowski, Wyckoff, and Tabory (1956), is a two-person game of strategy in which the players are oblivious of their strategic interdependence

  • In the sections that follCM, we propose to generalize the minimal social situation to groups of arbitrary size

  • + 1 = 0 in GF(2), if Xi = 1, Xi - 1 = 1, otherwise the ith canponent of the transfonned vector would be 1. This theorem establishes that the only configurations that are immediately followed by joint cooperation are those in which all players make the same choice

Introduction

The minimal social situation, first described by Sidowski, Wyckoff, and Tabory (1956), is a two-person game of strategy in which the players are oblivious of their strategic interdependence. .proposed that subjects in the minimal social situation and similar games of incomplete information learn to adopt a win-stay, lose-change principle, which is merely an application of Thorndike's (1911) law of effect.
