Abstract
This paper extends the scope of the model of regulation of social exchanges based on the concept of a supervisor of social equilibrium. We allow the supervisor to interact with personality-based agents that control the supervisor access to their internal states, behaving either as transparent agents (agents that allow full external access to their internal states) or as non-transparent agents (agents that restrict such external access). The agents may have different personality traits, which induce different attitudes towards both the regulation mechanism and the possible profits of social exchanges. Also, these personality traits influence the agents’ evaluation of their current status. To be able to reason about the social exchanges among personality-based non-transparent agents, the equilibrium supervisor models the system as a Hidden Markov Model.
