A social dilemma is a situation in which the interests of the
collective and its individual members clash. In these situations
individuals typically are tempted to take actions that favor
(sometimes even maximize) their short-term egocentric interests.
However if all group members adopt such behaviors, the group
suffers since all its members are worse off than they could be by
endorsing alternative pro-social actions that favor (sometimes even
maximize) the collective interest. This book provides an overview
and summary of the state of social psychological research on social
dilemmas. It is organized around four core issues: individual
differences which determine people's preferences for outcomes that
promote either their own or their group's well-being; the study of
dynamic processes based on simulations of artificial societies;
social dilemmas that emerge in inter-group conflicts; and the
effect of various types and sources of uncertainty on behavior in
social dilemma situations.
