Abstract:

The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a matrix game that pits an individual’s interest against group interests. The current study proposed an interactive, infinite choice, continuous time Prisoner’s Dilemma to test for cultural differences in conflict negotiation. Each participant was placed in either an individualistic or collectivistic category based on ethnicity. They were paired with either an individualistic or collectivistic opponent. The goal for each participant was to maximize his/her individual branch profits while simultaneously preventing the group from suffering. Overall cooperation was higher with an individualistic opponent than with a collectivistic opponent. Also, collectivistic participants cooperate significantly more with an individualistic opponent than with a collectivistic opponent.
