Costly Signals
Costly signals
are
actions or attributes
that are expensive for individuals or groups to produce, serving as
credible indicators
of
underlying qualities
or intentions. These signals are effective because only those who genuinely possess the
claimed qualities
can afford to produce them, thus
deterring deception
and
enhancing trust
in the
communication process
.
