Abstract: We consider a probabilistic-payoff social dilemma game and we analyze the impact of various social learning mechanisms - conformity, diversity generators, identity, on the dynamics of honest behavior in a virtual population. To capture the inherent variability and uncertainty of a complex social environment, the proposed model considers probabilistic payoffs as well as a variety of strategy updating rules and hybrid neighborhood topologies.
