Motivations to reciprocate cooperation and punish defection are calibrated by estimates of how easily others can switch partners

Sakura Arai et al.

Summary: The study suggests that selection favors different strategies for reciprocity depending on opportunities to choose alternative partners. The researchers propose that mechanisms have evolved to estimate the extent to which others can switch partners and calibrate motivations to reciprocate and punish accordingly. The study found that higher perceptions of relational mobility were associated with increased reciprocity and decreased punishment.

The benefits of being seen to help others: indirect reciprocity and reputation-based partner choice

Gilbert Roberts et al.

Summary: When one individual helps another, it not only benefits the recipient, but also may gain a reputation for being cooperative, leading to favoritism in future interactions. Indirect reciprocity and signaling theory are major mechanisms through which developing a cooperative reputation can provide a competitive advantage. The benefits of being seen as cooperative have been a significant driving force for sociality, particularly in humans.
