Herewe consider assortment generated by a process of partner choice known as selective assortment. Under selectiveassortment, players looking for a mate can observe the strategies of a sample of potential mates or co-players,and select one of them to interact with. This selection mechanism can generate positive assortment (preferencefor players using the same strategy), or negative assortment (preference for players using a different strategy).We study the impact of selective assortment in the evolution and in the equilibria of a population, providingresults for different games under different evolutionary dynamics (including the replicator dynamics).
