Abstract

Description

We present a model of interpersonal comparisons appearing as a generalization of a multi-state model for elements with internal bias. Within this model agents suffering under dissatisfaction compare them with their neighbors. The internal bias are the pre-formed preferences, and the states are represented by the visual contacts that an agent makes to the baskets of her/his neighbors. The topology of the comparisons is a random network. We compare the behavior between altruistic and non-altruistic agents and we find out that altruistic behavior alters the robustness of the network.
