Existing research supports two opposing mechanisms through which positive mood might affect cooperation. Some studies have suggested that positive mood produces more altruistic, open and helpful behavior, fostering cooperation. However, there is contrasting research supporting the idea that...

Intelligence affects social outcomes of groups. A systematic study of the link is provided in an experiment where two …

We investigate in a laboratory setting whether revealing information on the intelligence of both players affects behavior in repeated games. We study the Prisoners' Dilemma (PD) and Battle of Sexes (BoS) as they cover a large set of the interesting scenarios generated by repeated games of two...

three experiments (N = 1,993): in a preliminary experiment, we vary the payoffs over a large range. In our first main … experiment (Study 1), we present a novel design that varies payoffs orthogonally in a within-subjects design. Our second main … experiment, Study 2, investigates the orthogonal variation of payoffs in a between-subjects design. In a complementary analysis …

We aim to understand the role and evolution of beliefs in the indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma (IRPD). To do so, we elicit beliefs about the supergame strategies chosen by others. We find that heterogeneity in beliefs and changes in beliefs with experience are central to understanding...

We use a novel experimental design to disentangle strategically- and non-strategically-motivated cooperation. By using contingent responses in a repeated sequential prisoners' dilemma with a known probabilistic end, we differentiate end-game behavior from continuation behavior within individuals...
