dc.description.abstract | We develop a model that relates self-control and conflict identification to cooperation patterns in social dilemmas. As predicted, we find in a laboratory public goods experiment a robust association between stronger self-control and higher levels of cooperation. This means that
there is evidence for an impulse to be selfish and that cooperative behavior requires self-control
effort. Free-riders differ from other contributor types only in their tendency not to have identified
a self-control conflict in the first place. | sv |
