Guilt for non-humans

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

We argue that the emotion of guilt, in the sense of actual harm done to others from inappropriate action or inaction, is worthwhile to incorporate in evolutionary game models, as it can lead to increased cooperation, whether by promoting apology or by inhibiting defection. The study thereof can then transpire to abstract and concrete populations of non-human agents.
