群内沟通促进了在社会困境中的合作。有两种解释是合理的：讨论可能（a）增强群体认同感或（B）促使合作的承诺。一些社会困境的补救措施（如群体沟通）可以细分为公共福利补救措施（其中增强群体认同是一个例子）与合作应急补救措施（其中承诺是一个例子）。合作社行为增进集体福利的效力应适度于前者的救济，而不应适度于后者的救济。本文报道了一个操纵群体沟通和合作效能的实验。如预期的，如果沟通诱导承诺，但与群体身份的解释，效能并没有缓和小组讨论的效果。其他分析提供了更直接的证据，表明群体成员做出并履行了合作承诺。
Intragroup communication promotes cooperation in social dilemmas. Two explanations are plausible: Discussion may (a) enhance feelings of group identity or (b) induce commitments to cooperate. Some remedies for social dilemmas (like group communication) may be subclassified as public-welfare remedies (of which enhanced group identity is an example) versus cooperation-contingent remedies (of which commitment is an example). The efficacy of a cooperative act for enhancing the collective welfare should moderate remedies of the former but not the latter type. An experiment is reported in which group communication and the efficacy of cooperation were manipulated. As expected if communication induced commitments, but contrary to the group identity explanation, efficacy did not moderate the effect of group discussion. Other analyses provided more direct evidence that group members made and honored commitments to cooperate.
