- Abstract
- Many experimental studies have been built to investigate social dilemmas. There are some clues in these studies that can be used to create mechanisms to overcome social dilemmas. This research deals with a simulation model that uses a mechanism of sharing aspiration based on some of such clues, i.e., individuals’ expectations, information seeking and communication, obtained from previous experimental studies on social dilemmas. A mechanism of sharing aspiration is combined with a learning process to promote cooperative behavior in a group. Simulation results show that the mechanism of sharing aspiration shaped by learning can promote cooperative behavior in a group.
