The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy of interpersonal cognition as strategies for building cooperative relationships with others. For this purpose, the present research classified the strategies to build cooperative relationships, especially in the situation involved in risk that the interactive partner may behave in an opportunistic manner, into two categories; 1) collective strategies by using punishment,2) individualistic strategies by using detecting other ’s trustworthiness to select cooperative partners. This research developed two tasks corresponding to each strategy; i) the task to detect the relationship with others, and ii) the task to detect other’s internal trait. The results show that the tendency to use collective strategies was related to the accuracy of the task i), rather than task ii).
