“…Cross-sections obtained at different u values are shown in figure 1(b). These curves confirm that an increase in other-regarding rate u helps cooperation even in the mixed phase at a constant r, which supports a previous conclusion that 'standing in others' shoes promotes cooperation' [37]. Finally, at u = 0, we have π…”

Evolutionary game theory assumes that individuals maximize their benefits when choosing strategies. However, an alternative perspective proposes that individuals seek to maximize the benefits of others. To explore the relationship between these perspectives, we develop a model where self- and other-regarding preferences compete in public goods games. We find that other-regarding preferences are more effective in promoting cooperation, even when self-regarding preferences are more productive. Cooperators with different preferences can coexist in a new phase where two classic solutions invade each other, resulting in a dynamical equilibrium. As a consequence, a lower productivity of self-regarding cooperation can provide a higher cooperation level. Our results, which are also valid in a well-mixed population, may explain why other-regarding preferences could be a viable and frequently observed attitude in human society.

“…This other-regarding preference is frequently observed not only in human society but also across the animal kingdom [34][35][36][37]. The mentioned behavior was not simply studied by model calculations but also comprehensively reviewed from an economic perspective [38][39][40][41][42].…”
