The document describes a study analyzing data from a social network game to understand how newcomers blend into groups. Key findings include:
- Newcomers tended to cooperate with existing group members without receiving prior cooperation, showing they cooperate to construct new relationships.
- Newcomers were more influenced by messaging from others compared to existing members, indicating messaging helps newcomers integrate.
- Both newcomers and existing members were more likely to cooperate with and respond to the cooperation of newcomers over existing members, demonstrating groups accept newcomers.
The analysis provides insights into how humans use reciprocal altruism to construct cooperative relationships with strangers and integrate newcomers into groups.

Problem of CooperaTon Mechanisms
ü Kin SelecTon
ü Direct Reciprocity
ü Indirect Reciprocity
ü SpaTal SelecTon
ü MulT-level SelecTon
The reciprocal mechanisms require coopera've interac'on
in first 'me mee'ng, because reciprocal cooperators cooperate others as the
reacTon of their cooperaTon to avoid to cooperate defectors.
ü i.e., to increase reciprocal relaTonships, in first Tme meeTng, they should
cooperate (not exclude) strangers to construct good relaTonships.
There are interac'on risks, because they are unfamiliar each other.
→ How do humans construct reciprocal rela'onships
with strangers?

Test Scenario
33
Aack Wait
Aack - 1, 3
Wait 3, 1 0, 0
To simplify this, consider that two players baled the enemy
A player wait another's aack to use effecTvely their
resource.
We regarded the AVack behavior as coopera'on.
When the enemy's hit points are very few
Aack
HP
Players acquire smaller points when
"Aack power > Enemy's HP" than when
"Aack power ≦ Enemy's HP"
