Analysis of human behavioral strategies for agents with active and passive strategies

Abstract

In humans' cooperative behavior, there are two types of behavioral strategies: passive behavioral strategies based on the others, and active behavioral strategies based on the objective-first. In order to realize a robot that can use different strategies and communicate like a person, we created an agent that can switch between active and passive strategies. However, it is not clear whether people change their own behavioral strategies according to each strategy. In this study, we conducted an experiment in which agents with multiple strategies of actively giving way and passively giving way passed each other in a grid-like space, and analyzed whether people's behavior changed when the agents' strategies changed. The results show that, in addition to subjects who change their own behavior in response to changes in the agent's strategy, there are also subjects who behave in a certain way regardless of the agent's strategy and subjects whose behavior is not clearly divided.
