Sequential decision-making impacts moral judgment : how iterative dilemmas can expand our perspective on sacrificial harm Ghent University

Each of these dilemmas has its own set of targets and describes a situation independent from those described in the other dilemmas.

Social dilemmas depict mixed-motive situations in which personal interests and collective interests are at odds (e.g., Dawes, 1980; Komorita & Parks, 1995). In answering the question of how people deal with such conflicting motives, experimental research has used a variety of experimental games that are modeled after real-life situations. Two of the main types are the public-good dilemma and the resource dilemma. Research on social dilemmas ...
