Comment: "Thank you, Liz. I finally found that "signaling activity", with one L, is more common.
Here is a definition I found: "...because just saying that you are cooperative or trustworthy does
not prove it, prosocial behavior can be seen as a signaling activity meant to transfer credible
information about personal qualities." (In: http://www.aeaweb.org/annual_mtg_papers/2007/0107_1015_0404.pdf)"
