> When I play the prisoner's dilemma in class, I see very little cooperation.
I know one researcher who has repeated a trust game (not prisoner's dilemma) with many classes of students and groups of business men. He finds that students are remarkably untrustworthy and businessmen tend to give their trust quite frequently. He thinks that students are socially isolated from each other and have little experience in social worlds were trust is common, unlike business men. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a similar difference when you P.D. Can anybody confirm or reject this claim about students? Fabio
