Cooperation and competition are the drive of the social development, and they are very important topic. Nowadays, decision dilemma attracts more and more attention. With the increasing serious resource problems, common resource dilemmas become the focus of the investigation.This paper treats the common resource dilemmas as the experimental task, and uses both the measures of lab experiment and questionnaire methods to investigate and discuss the effect of the social value orientation, feedback, and punishment in decision dilemma. The results indicate:a) Social value orientation has the very important effect in decision dilemma of the decision maker. Compared with non-cooperative people, Cooperative people are much more inclined to cooperate. The person's social value orientation can be the very important factor which can predict the behavior of the decision dilemma.b) The different types of feedback make different effects to decision-making of persons who are with different social value orientation. Non-cooperative people are more inclined to be effected by feedback, but cooperative people are very difficult to be effected by the information of others' decision-making.c) The different ways of punishment make different effects to people's decision-making. The way to punish individual is more effective than the way which is to punish collective, and it can restrain people's selfish behavior, and makes people cooperate.d) Compared with lower penalty, the higher penalty can restrain people's selfish behavior more effectively, and make people cooperate. The selfish behavior is negative with higher penalty.e) Be relative to actual water price in Lanzhou, the penalty standard of 5.4 yuan is probably maybe the acceptable node of people's mentality. From people's psychological sense, the penalty standard which is higher than it could probably not be accepted by people.
