The effect of positive mood on cooperation in repeated interaction

Proto, Eugenio; Sgroi, Daniel; Nazneen, Mahnaz - 2017

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...

The role of payoff parameters for cooperation in the one-shot prisoner's dilemma

Gächter, Simon; Lee, Kyeongtae; Sefton, Martin; Weber, … - 2024

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 …

Conditional cooperation and the effect of punishment

Kirchkamp, Oliver; Mill, Wladislaw - 2018

We study how punishment influences conditional cooperation. We ask two questions: 1) how does conditional cooperation change if a subject can be punished and 2) how does conditional cooperation change if a subject has the power to punish others. In particular, we disentangle the decision to be a...

Beliefs, learning, and personality in the indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma

Gill, David; Rosokha, Yaroslav - 2022

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...

Group Size Effect on Cooperation in One-Shot Social Dilemmas

Barcelo, Helene; Capraro, Valerio - 2015

Social dilemmas are central to human society. Depletion of natural resources, climate protection, security of energy supply, and workplace collaborations are all examples of social dilemmas. Since cooperative behaviour in a social dilemma is individually costly, Nash equilibrium predicts that...

Evidence of Homo Economicus? Findings from Experiment on Evolutionary Prisoners' Dilemma Game

Pradiptyo, Rimawan - 2011

This paper aims to analyze subjects' behavior in an experiment on evolutionary process of prisoners' dilemma game. The … experiment has been designed by using sixteen one-shot prisoners' dilemma games with payoffs perturbation and random matching … players under perfect information. The subjects of the experiment were students and staff in Universitas Gadjah Mada …

Examining Spillovers between Long and Short Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma Games Played in the Laboratory

Arechar, Antonio - 2017

We have participants play two sets of repeated Prisoner's Dilemma (RPD) games, one with a large continuation probability and the other with a small continuation probability (stage game payoffs and continuation probabilities are common knowledge). We find that, regardless of which is played...

Are Payoff Maximisers More Cooperative? Evidence from a Prisoner's Dilemma Experiment

Kozlovskaya, Maria - 2017

Subjects who played a payoff-maximising strategy against a computer algorithm ("sophisticates") are more cooperative in a finitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma than subjects who did not play a payoff-maximising strategy ("naifs"). The difference in cooperation rates increases as the subjects gain...
