The effect of type A personality on physiological arousal while playing computer games

Article Abstract:

Research appears to establish a positive correlation between personality type and addictiveness to and arousal from computer-game play. Twenty four people were selected to participate in this test on the basis of Jenkins Activity Survey and divided into two groups of Type A and Type B. Type A (M= 7, F= 5, mean age = 24.3 years) had a percentile score above 55 and Type B personality (M=5, F=7, mean age= 24.1) had percentile score lower than 20.

The role of autoshaping in cooperative two-player games between starlings

Article Abstract:

The Rescorla-Wagner model used to study cooperation in starlings did not yield molecular facets of the experiment and it also contradicts the theories of game-theoretical models. Four experiments were conducted on caged paired starlings to analyze their response patterns. The cooperative responses of the starlings is influenced by the partner's reactions and its experiences resulted in a decrease in the probability of pecking.

Cooperative strategies in low-noise environments

Article Abstract:

Peter Kollock used computer simulations is describing a repeated game environment with diverse cooperative strategies. Kollock said that in such a 'noisy' environment, generous and forgiving strategies generate more success than the biblical approach of 'an eye for an eye.' However, such an approach becomes questionable in a real world setting, where other successful strategies can be used in social exchange.
