Abstract
A resource dilemma is a circumstance where an aggregate of people share a slowly replenishing resource pool out of which each person can harvest for her or his own use. The goal of this study was to examine the content of discussion within groups distinguished by social value orientation (SVO; proselfs vs. prosocials) experiencing an experimental simulation of a resource dilemma. Prosocials maintained the resource pool more successfully. Their discussion featured more substantive and procedural discussion, as well as less off-topic talk than that of proselfs. In contrast, SVO had little impact on the participants' perceptions of their experience.
