我们比较了两人信任博弈中群体和个人的行为。在这个游戏中,第一个行动者,即捐赠者,收到捐赠,可以将捐赠的任何部分发送给响应者;发送的金额是三倍,然后响应者可以将三倍总和的任何部分返还给捐赠者。在2x2设计中,扮演发送者和响应者角色的参与者要么是个人,要么是三个参与者组成的小组(他们进行面对面的讨论,以决定集体的小组策略)。我们发现,在发送者的角色组发送比个人更少的金额,并期望较低的回报。特别是,群体比个人更经常地发送任何东西(当响应者是另一个群体时,更有可能这样做)。作为响应者的团体和个人平均返回的金额与发送的金额相同。因此,我们得出结论,群体比个人更不信任,但同样值得信赖。(c)2007 Elsevier B.

We compare the behavior of groups and individuals in a two-person trust game. The first mover in this game, the sender, receives an endowment and can send any part of it to the responder; the amount sent is tripled, and the responder can then return to the sender any portion of the tripled sum. In a 2 x 2 design, the players in the roles of sender and responder are either individuals or groups of three players (who conduct face-to-face discussions to decide on a collective group strategy). We find that groups in the role of sender send smaller amounts than individuals, and expect lower returns. In particular, groups send nothing more often than individuals do (and are even more likely to do so when the responder is another group). Groups and individuals in the role of responder return on average the same fraction of the amount sent. Hence, we conclude that groups are less trusting than individuals, but just as trustworthy.
