According to Hobbes, individuals care about their relative standing in a way that shapes their social interactions. To model this aspect of Hobbesian psychology, this paper supposes that agents have social preferences, that is, preferences about their comparative resource holdings. Introducing uncertainty regarding the social preferences of others unleashes a process of trust-unravelling, ultimately leading to Hobbes’s ‘state of war’. This Trust-unravelling Model incorporates important features of Hobbes’s argument that past models ignore.

卷入战争：霍布斯自然状态中的信任和社会偏好

根据霍布斯的说法，个人关心他们的相对地位会影响他们的社交互动。为了对霍布斯心理学的这一方面进行建模，本文假设代理人具有社会偏好，即对其比较资源持有量的偏好。引入关于他人社会偏好的不确定性会引发信任瓦解的过程，最终导致霍布斯的“战争状态”。这个信任瓦解模型包含了过去模型忽略的霍布斯论点的重要特征。
