Answer to Question 1
In general, people behave more competitively (in a self-interested fashion) in social dilemmas as compared to
prisoner's dilemmas for several reasons. First, the prisoner's dilemma involves two parties; the social dilemma
involves several people. People behave more competitively in groups than in two-person situations. Second, the
costs of defection are spread out, rather than concentrated upon one person. Third, social dilemmas are riskier than
prisoner's dilemmas. The greater costs, risks, and uncertainty lead people to behave in a more self-interested
fashion. Fourth, social dilemmas provide anonymity that prisoner's dilemmas do not, as people can hide among
the group. When people feel less accountable, they are more inclined to behave in a self-interested, competitive
fashion. Finally, people in social dilemmas have less control over a given situation.
