Overview

Contemporary Trends and Developments in Player Behavior in Game Theory Games

These are the two parts of my thesis. My professor has raised concerns that the structure is not correct and has requested that they be merged in order to achieve a proper and coherent structure. The entire thesis must be 65 pages in length. Therefore, these sections need to be integrated, and approximately 10 additional pages of content must be written to ensure the work meets the required length and is properly developed.

Below are the corrections that need to be made to the second part of the thesis:

1. Chapter 5 & Terminology (Deletions)

• Removal of the source "Quan et al. (2024)" as it is not foundational and does not exist.
• Elimination of the concept of “distributivity” and the term “distributive Prisoner’s Dilemma (DPD)” as they are not valid concepts.
• Removal of the term “distributive problem” throughout the text as it constitutes incorrect terminology.

2. Prisoner’s Dilemma (Historical Expansion)

• Addition of extensive historical material, as this is required to meet the 70-page target.
• Inclusion of the pioneers of the Prisoner’s Dilemma, as the necessary historical background is currently missing.
• Further explanation of the dilemma in order to clarify why it has been of such significant interest to the scientific community.

3. Alice & Bob (Cryptography)

• Inclusion of a historical overview of Alice and Bob, explaining how their use in cryptography originated (without going into unnecessary technical detail).

4. Bibliography

• Reorganization of the existing references, as their current structure is disordered.
• Identification and inclusion of valid academic sources (e.g., via Google Scholar and journals such as Games) to ensure proper scientific documentation of the dilemma.

5. Formatting (Layout) & Style

• Adjustment of the Word document formatting (chapters must begin on odd-numbered pages), as this is a fundamental rule of proper layout.
• Revision of coherence and verb tenses, as the text currently reflects AI-generated writing and requires a more natural, human flow.

6. Timeline

• Establishment of a progress review on Saturday in 10 days, in order to evaluate the implementation of the revisions.

The attached thesis from another student is intended to serve as an example of the expected structure and format.
