Trust and cooperation using video games. Trust and cooperation are critical for any social enterprise. To understand how these drivers operate, game theory models from economics and biology can be applied to human interactions. While such applications can improve productivity and efficiency, there are two foundational knowledge gaps that must be addressed: 1) Can we use innovations in disease modelling to explain the erosion and regain of cooperation and trust in complex social networks? 2) How do human biases skew real world results away from model predictions? By applying the ground-breaking gaming approach of our Key Industry Partner, we will use real video game players to provide an applied integration of theories of trust and cooperation into educational productivity..
