Kevereschán Social Personality Model

Abstract

Description The Kevereschán Social Personality Model (KSPM) is an exploratory multigenerational simulation framework designed to study how a society-wide distribution of behavioral and personality strategies may emerge, stabilize, and change through interacting self-regulatory processes. The model represents five partly overlapping behavioral-personality strategies and integrates individual experience and memory, social interaction outcomes, local community structure, personality transitions, reproductive feedback, and gradual generational replacement. Rather than assuming that the currently most successful strategy automatically spreads, KSPM models change through locally perceived reward, personal resistance, threat experience, peace-time adaptation, reproductive selection, and demographic turnover. The present Version 1.0 demonstrates the framework through the Bully strategy, which represents dominant, exploitative, narcissistic-trait behavior within the model. Baseline simulations produce a progressively stabilizing five-strategy distribution, while controlled parameter tests examine how increased interaction frequency, stronger temptation toward apparently successful dominant behavior, and their combination can shift the system toward a different societal personality configuration. KSPM is not intended to estimate the real-world prevalence of narcissism or other personality traits. It is a theoretical and computational framework for exploring how changes in social incentives, interaction structures, local environments, and multigenerational feedback may alter an otherwise relatively stable societal personality organization.
