Forscher entwickeln mit Spieltheorie These zur Entwicklung der Zusammenarbeit
Moralsysteme sind der Schlüssel zur Unterscheidung zwischen “gut” und “böse” und damit für die Festlegung sozialer Ordnungen elementar. Ein internationales Forschungsteam um den Mathematiker Tatsuya Sasaki von der Universität Wien hat nun eine neue optimale Theorie zur Entwicklung von Zusammenarbeit im Sinne der evolutionären Spieltheorie vorgelegt. Die Wissenschafter haben herausgefunden, dass die moralische Nicht-Bewertung ein effektiver Grundstein beim Aufbau einer Kooperation ist. Die Ergebnisse wurden kürzlich im Fachjournal Scientific Reports veröffentlicht.
