Although strategic coalition formation is traditionally modeled using cooperative game theory, behavioral game theorists have repeatedly shown that outcomes predicted by game theory are different from those generated by actual human behavior. To further explore these differences, in a cooperative game theory context, we experiment to compare the outcomes resulting from human participants’ behavior to those generated by a cooperative game theory solution mechanism called the core partition. Our experiment uses an interactive simulation of a glove game, a particular type of cooperative game, to collect the participant’s decision choices and their resultant outcomes. Two different glove games are considered, …

Abstract: Soldier morale is a complex social construction influenced by factors at multiple levels and integrates many research domains. This research seeks to explore, model, and simulate soldier morale at multiple levels of analysis. Microcosmically Agent-Based Modeling method is used to reflect the interaction among fighters and the course of affecting morale,Macrocosmically SD method is used to reflect the influence of the tactical psychology on morale and the whole war in the counter-combat process. The developed sample case scenario pertained to US security efforts against insurgency in Afghanistan in 2007. The scenario includes representation of the patrol base operations serving …
