Social behaviors can be categorized according to the fitness consequences they entail for the actor and recipient. Mutually beneficial – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipient Selfish – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of the actor, but the recipient suffers a loss Altruistic – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of the recipient, but the actor suffers a loss Spiteful – a behavior that decreases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipientThis classification was proposed by W.
