Prisoner’s Dilemma Game, which is a two person game in which both parties are faced with cooperation or competition, and depending upon their choices both can win or lose, is often used to study cooperation or competition. This game is based on an anecdote. Two suspects were quizzed by detectives separately (C). The detectives had only enough evidence to convict them for a small offence. Separately the two convicts were offered a chance to confess (A). If one confesses and the other does not, the one who confesses will get no punishment and her/his confession will be used to convict the other with a serious offence (D). If both confess, the punishment to both will be mild (B). If neither confesses, each will receive a light sentence (E). This game has been used in hundreds of experiments to demonstrate that when two parties are involved, there is a conflict between motive to cooperate and motive to compete.
