Believable agents are intelligent agents designed to emulate characteristics such as personality, emotions and relatioships in order to exhibit an ilusion of life to human observers. Hence, designers should not only cater for the individual behaviour, but also consider their social interactions. In this light, this paper describes a model for interaction and relationships in groups of believable agents. The model proposed, X-BARIM, was based on consolidated Psychology studies and aims at enhancing the social simulation credibility. Experiments performed with the model have shown that it is possible to simulate well known phenomena such as Leadership Emergence and Coalition Formation even for larger groups of agents.
