Limited resources lead animals into conflicts of interest, which are resolved when an individual withdraws from a direct contest. Current theory suggests that the decision to withdraw can be based on a threshold derived from an individual’s own state (self-assessment) or on a comparison between their own state and their opponent’s (mutual assessment). The observed variation between these assessment strategies in nature does not conform to theory. Thus, we require theoretical developments that explain the functional significance of different assessment strategies. We consider a hawk-dove game with two discrete classes that differ in fighting ability, in which the players strategically decide on their investment toward mutual assessment. Analysis of the model indicates that there are simultaneous trade-offs relating to assessment strategies. First, weak individuals in a population must decide on whether to acquire information about their opponents at the cost of providing opponents with information about themselves. Secondly, all individuals must decide between investing in mutual assessment and being persistent in contests. Our analysis suggests that the potential for individuals to make errors during contests and differences in the consequences of sharing information within a population may serve as fundamental concepts for explaining variation in assessment strategy.

Evolutionary constraints of warning signals : a genetic trade-off between the efficacy of larval and adult warning coloration can maintain variation in signal expression
Lindstedt, Carita; Schroderus, Eero; Lindström, Leena; Mappes, Tapio; Mappes, Johanna (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.; Society for the Study of Evolution, 2016)To predict evolutionary responses of warning signals under selection, we need to determine the inheritance pattern of the signals, and how they are genetically correlated with other traits contributing to fitness. Furthermore, ... -
Self-assessment : the experiences with and opinions on self-assessment among students and their teachers
Kokkonen, Tiia (2012)Itsearviointi on merkittävä osa kieltenoppimista, sillä sen avulla oppilaat voivat muun muassa huomata vahvuutensa ja heikkoutensa, kehittää itseään tarvittavilla osa-alueilla, sekä asettaa itselleen realistisia ... -
“Do you understand (me)?” negotiating mutual understanding by using gaze and environmentally coupled gestures between two deaf signing participants
Sivunen, Nina; Tapio, Elina (De Gruyter Mouton, 2022)In this paper we explore the use of multimodal and multilingual semiotic resources in interactions between two deaf signing participants, a researcher and an asylum seeker. The focus is on the use of gaze and environmentally ... -
Towards an optimal self-assessment tool for information security investment decision-making
Kokkonen, Mika (2017)Aikaisempi tutkimus keskittyi pääasiallisesti taloudellisiin malleihin, joiden tarkoituksena oli auttaa organisaatioita tunnistamaan kuinka paljon heidän tulisi sijoittaa tietoturvallisuuteen. Nämä mallit pyrkivät tuottojen ...
