The research of psychological/ cognitive basis of the strategy to build cooperative relationships

本研究的目的是检验人际认知作为与他人建立合作关系的策略的准确性。为此，本研究将建立合作关系的策略，特别是在互动伙伴可能以机会主义方式行事的风险情况下，分为两类：1）通过惩罚的集体策略; 2）通过检测他人的可信度来选择合作伙伴的个人主义策略。本研究设计了两个任务，分别对应于两种策略：一是发现与他人的关系任务，二是发现他人的内在特质任务。结果表明，使用集体策略的倾向与任务i）的准确性有关，而不是任务ii）。

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).
