Abstract: Abstract Affective elements have been shown to have impact on how individuals and groups make decisions. In this paper, we consider how emotions and mood impact the degree of competitiveness and cooperativeness in groups. We provide a parametric model to regulate its evolution and introduce a negotiation scheme to facilitate group formation, depending on such affective elements. We simulate a virtual platform for the proposed model and conduct experiments showing that our proposal is effective: agents which cooperate affectively with others through negotiation tend to attain higher utilities and outperform non-cooperative and/or emotionless agents.
