“…In particular, the effect of internalized deontological norms may be, according to cases, that of at least partially offsetting the cost of the penalty from having been found liable when practicing non-defensive medicine, or of reducing the intrinsic benefit from practicing defensive medicine. Although this kind of effects is difficult to obtain through policy actions, it should be nonetheless advisable to reckon with them, for instance by accounting for cultural evolution processes that select certain kinds of pro-social vs. selfish traits and may also lead to the building of specific social assets [36].…”

In this paper, we study a nonlinear model of the interaction between trait selection and population dynamics, building on previous work of Ghirlanda et al. [Theor. Popul. Biol. 77, 181-188 (2010)] and Antoci et al. [Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul. 58, 92-106 (2018)]. We establish some basic properties of the model dynamics and present some simulations of the fine-grained structure of alternative dynamic regimes for chosen combinations of parameters. The role of the parameters that govern the reinforcement/corruption of maladaptive vs. adaptive traits is of special importance in determining the model's dynamic evolution. The main implication of this result is the need to pay special attention to the structural forces that may favor the emergence and consolidation of maladaptive traits in contemporary socio-economies, as it is the case, for example, for the stimulation of dysfunctional consumption habits and lifestyles in the pursuit of short-term profits.
