In the talk, the impact of social role assignment and the corresponding payoff distribution on cooperation in the Prisoner’s dilemma will be discussed following the types of relations according to Fiske’s relational models’ theory: communal sharing, authority ranking, equality matching, and market pricing. The corresponding roles and payoff distribution are teammates (each player receives the sum of the payoffs), partners (each player receives half of the sum of the payoffs), boss and subordinate (the boss receives 2/3 and the subordinate 1/3 of the sum of the payoffs), and opponents (each player receives the standard payoff).

Workshop: The Prisoner's dilemma game is considered a good framework to study cooperation in a wide range of social situations. The game is a social dilemma in the sense that the individualistic behaviour can lead to the highest payoff of the game at the expense of the other opponent if she cooperates. The workshop will present recent results along the line of research, related to the influence on cooperation of the payoff structure of the game, information acquisition, Simpson's paradox effects, players role effect and so on.
