A Study Of Cooperative And Competitive Behavior In Dynamic Dilemma Games

The decision-malting process in dynamic dilemma game has been studied extensively to explore the mechanism of decision-making process. And it is also one of the hot topics in management psychology fields. In real life, a lot of practical problems can be abstracted into social dilemma. Researchers all agreed that the social dilemma is caused by deficient equilibrium external factors. The purpose of research social dilemma is to find a solution to promote cooperation and avoid competition. What factors will be the more dynamic approaches to the impact of acts of cooperation during the decision-making research has been the key issue. Focusing on some influencing factors on cooperative behavior in dynamic dilemma games, this study investigates the various factors involved in the process, such as between groups' competition, avoiding loss and pursuit gain, feedback conditions, social values as well as the risk preference.The main findings of this study are as follows:(1) The avoiding-toss/pursuiting-gain conditions affect decision-making process. The conditions impact subjects' behavior pattern during the course of experiment. But there is no statistics significant difference between two conditions.(2) The content and property of feedback information affect the cooperative or competitive behavior of decision-makers. Timely, appropriate feedback information will intensively affect follow-up decision-making.(3) The social values of individuals are rather stable personality characteristics. But in a dynamic dilemma game it is not static, and the individual's decision-making will be adapted with the situation changes.(4) There is a close relationship between social values and risk preferences. And both of them affect dynamics delimit games' decision-making. Subjects in pursuiting gain condition might behave risk-aversion but when offered essentially the same choice formulated in a different way, avoiding loss, might show risk-seeking behavior.(5) With/without between-groups competition conditions significantly affect cooperative behavior in dynamic delima games.
