Suppose that you and your four roommates decide to get a dog. Unfortunately, you are all fairly selfish with your time; no one takes responsibility for the dog, and no one communicates about the dog's needs. As a result, the dog rarely gets fed, only goes on walks occasionally, and has never once made it to the vet. In short, he is neglected, and he ultimately ends up costing you thousands of dollars in emergency room bills (which could have been avoided had you taken him to the vet early on). Social psychologists would say that the dog is a victim of ____.
 
  a. the commons dilemma
  b. overpersonalization
  c. the rule of law
  d. confirmation bias

Question 2

People are less likely to engage in the commons dilemma when ____.
 
  a. they communicate with others
  b. others are behaving badly
  c. they are anonymous
  d. they are highly self-interested
