Frontiers in Social Dilemmas Research Paperback / softback
Edited by Wim B.G. Liebrand, David M. Messick
Paperback / softback
Description
Social dilemmas are situations in which individuals, groups or nations face a choice between their own short-term interests and the longer-term interests of all parties involved, including themselves.
As a consequence, in the end they all regret the way they have acted.
Examples of social dilemmas are easy to find: depletion of vital resources, arms races, over-production of hazardous substances and environmental pollutants, information hoarding, and the failure to provide and maintain public goods.
Understanding the dynamics of social dilemmas constitutes a major challenge.
One prominent feature that distinguishes this book is the focus on computer simulations as a methodology for the exploration of the dynamic interplay of individual level processes and aggregate outcomes.
