A News Hour with Jim Lehrer | Posted: May 10, 2005
Here are subjects Nelly and Claire meeting for the first time via video, then playing a game electronically in which they choose to cooperate or compete. If they cooperate, making deals to split small pots of cash, they each earn more in the long run. If they compete and try to take as much as they can for themselves, each ultimately earns less in the end. In the first round, Nelly led off and, at Claire’s expense, tried to get more money right away. Second round: Claire led and did the same thing.
