Room Evacuation Model Using Personality-Based Behavior
could be expanded to include the modeling
of different occupational roles
such as policemen/public-safety officers,
nurses/doctors, fire-fighters, and
other highly trained/highly-altruistic
individuals that have been known to
behave very differently from the general
public in a disaster situation (Johnson,
1987). Other expansions to the model
could include disabling of certain agents
due to too many collisions, depending
on their body size/mass which could be
derived from empirical population distributions,
and adding running as described
by Moussaïd et al. (2016).
The above described approach
of modeling personality could also be
combined with existing and new research
on the impact of inheritability
and environment on personality traits
such as (Bouchard, 2004), and used to
forecast various possible future economic
scenarios and voting trends. Our
plan is to take this research model and
apply it to a financial markets scenario,
where in a manner similar to the evacuation
model discussed above, personality
also guides/constrains behavior
along with interactions with the markets
and peers.
