Question

In the early "trucking" game studies by Deutsch and Krauss (1960, 1962), it was found that allowing the competing participants to communicate during the game __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

did not foster trust and cooperation.

Explanation:

Developing more favorable attitudes among participants in a dispute in cooperative situations fosters greater mutual trust and openness of communication, as well as providing a more stable basis for continued cooperation, despite the growth or undermining of certain objectives. This also encourages a perception of similarity of attitudes. However, communication does not bring the same benefits when participants are competitors. In this case, communication does not foster trust and cooperation.
