Abstract

ABSTRACT This study conducted two experiments to explore the effects of intuitive thinking and social value orientation (SVO) on cooperative behavior and assess the mediating effect of cooperative expectations. It manipulated intuitive thinking by increasing the participants’ need for cognitive closure, classified SVO using the triple-dominance measure, measured cooperative behavior using the prisoner’s dilemma game, and considered cooperative expectations based on participants’ assessments of the cooperativeness of their counterparts. Both experiments showed that intuitive thinking increased and decreased the cooperation of pro-social and pro-self individuals, respectively. In pro-self individuals, cooperative expectations mediated the effect of intuitive thinking on cooperation.
