Question 1

Bill and Ted have been captured and placed in a "prisoners' dilemma." If Bill confesses to the crime,he would be ___ Ted.

Accepted Answer

In a prisoners' dilemma, both parties have the choice to either cooperate (not confess) or defect (confess). If one person confesses while the other doesn't, the confessor gets a lighter sentence while the other person faces a harsher punishment. In this scenario, if Bill confesses, he would be competing with Ted, as he would be trying to avoid a harsher punishment at Ted's expense.

Question 2

At the dog park,everyone is supposed to clean up after their dogs and watch their dogs when in the park.However,Danny neither cleans up after his dog nor stops it from digging holes.He figures that someone else will fix it.This situation is a

Accepted Answer

This situation is a public goods dilemma because the benefits of cleaning up after the dog and stopping it from digging holes are collective, but the costs are borne by individuals. Danny is free-riding and expecting someone else to clean up after his dog, which creates a situation where others may also choose not to clean up after their dogs, leading to the deterioration of the park for everyone.

Question 3

Studies of students in ___ classrooms found that students worked harder,achieved higher grades,and communicated more frequently.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that students in cooperative classrooms work harder, achieve higher grades, and communicate more frequently with each other compared to students in other classroom types. Cooperative classrooms promote collaboration, communication, and teamwork, which contributes to a positive learning environment and student success.

Question 4

The PDG (prisoners' dilemma game)involves desires to ___ and ___.

Accepted Answer

The PDG involves the desires to cooperate or compete. In the game, players are faced with the option to either collaborate or betray their partner for their own gain. The best outcome for both players is achieved through cooperation, but there is a strong temptation to defect and betray the other player, leading to a suboptimal outcome for both. Therefore, the PDG highlights the tension between individual self-interest and the common good, making the choice between cooperation or defection a crucial aspect of the game.

Question 5

The "tragedy of the commons" is a

Accepted Answer

The tragedy of the commons is a social trap in which individuals, acting in their own self-interest, deplete a shared resource, ultimately causing harm to themselves and others. This can occur when there is no clear ownership or regulation of the resource, leading to overuse and degradation over time.

Question 6

Frank and Dinah are playing the PDG (prisoners' dilemma game).If they both pick A,they both win $2.If they both pick B,they both lose $1.If one picks A and the other picks B,the one who picks A loses $1 and the one who picks B wins $4.If Frank picks B he is making the ___ choice.

Accepted Answer

Frank picking B represents a competitive choice because it aims to maximize his own payoff potentially at the expense of Dinah's, aligning with the competitive nature of seeking a higher individual gain ($4) if Dinah chooses A, contrasting the cooperative or mutual benefit approach of both choosing A.

Question 7

I don't work very hard writing test questions for the test bank because I know that other group members will pick up the slack for me if I loaf.I am

Accepted Answer

The behavior described in the statement is that of free riding, where an individual takes advantage of the effort put in by others in a group without contributing equally.

Question 10

Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

Social values do vary systematically across cultures. This is evidenced by the fact that different cultures prioritize different values, such as collectivism or individualism. Gender is not a consistent predictor of competitiveness or cooperative values, and the idea that individualistic people want to avoid others is a stereotype that does not reflect the full range of individualistic values.

Question 11

Groups experiencing ___ have differences of opinion,disagreements,and show signs of discord and friction between members.

Accepted Answer

Conflict refers to disagreements and discord between group members, which can arise due to differences in opinions, beliefs, values, or goals. This can result in tension, friction, and difficulty in working together effectively. Mixed motives, pluralistic ignorance, and evolution are not necessarily related to the occurrence of conflict within a group.

Question 12

Which is not one of the basic orientations identified in the theory of Social Value Orientation?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

Studies of neural activity suggest that regions of the brain associated with

Accepted Answer

Question 14

The professor tells her students that she gives out grades based on ranks.The 10% of the students with the best grades get As,the next 20% get Bs,and so on.She is using a(n)___ goal structure.

Accepted Answer

This is a competitive goal structure because grades are based on the rank of students rather than individual improvement or cooperative efforts. Students are competing against each other to receive the limited number of A's, B's, etc.

Question 15

Person A vs.Person B is to ___ as Group X vs.Group Y is to ___.

Accepted Answer

The correct analogy is Person A vs. Person B (intragroup conflict, occurring within a single group or team) is to Group X vs. Group Y (intergroup conflict, occurring between different groups or teams).

Question 16

A win-win orientation is to a(n)___ social value as a win-lose orientation is to a(n)___ social value.

Accepted Answer

A win-win orientation values cooperation and mutual benefit for all parties involved, while a win-lose orientation values competition and the idea that one party can only succeed at the expense of others. Therefore, a win-win orientation is associated with cooperative social values, while a win-lose orientation is associated with competitive social values. Choice A (success;failure) is not a good match, as both orientations are focused on achieving success (although their definitions of success may differ). Choices D (individualistic;competitive) and E (self-serving;group-serving) could be argued as partially accurate, but they do not capture the full essence of the difference between win-win and win-lose orientations.

Question 17

Deborah and Frank are studying together for the next test.Deborah wants to help Frank do well but at the same time she also wants to get a better score on the test than he does.Deborah is in a(n)___ situation

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

This means that there are some goals where members must work together, while in other goals, they may be competing against each other. This can often create tension and conflict within the group.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

The conflict between the Eskadors and Uminiacs is an example of intergroup conflict, which occurs when two or more groups (in this case, the Eskadors and Uminiacs) are in competition or disagreement over resources, in this instance, a valley with rich, productive farmland.

Question 20

At work,people are supposed to put a quarter in the money jar anytime they take a cup of coffee from the common pot.Betty,however,rarely contributes because she figures her money will not be missed.This situation is a

Accepted Answer

This is a commons dilemma because it involves a shared resource (the coffee pot) and the temptation for individuals to take more than their fair share without contributing to its maintenance or replenishment. Betty's actions are an example of the "tragedy of the commons," in which individuals prioritize their own short-term gain over the long-term sustainability of the resource.
