Abstract
Social dilemmata are characterized by the fact that decision makers maximizing individual payoff will receive more for themselves, but will reduce the common outcome. Typical examples for these conflicts are fishing quotes in the North Atlantic, pollution restrictions, family size limits, etc. The maximation principle of the normative utility model is not conclusive. Therefore, we constructed a multiattribute utility function with two weighted components for egoism and altruism describing and explaining the behavior in social dilemma games, especially for the union and commons dilemma. In a series of experimental studies the multiattribute utility maximation model was tested and the degree of context influences was examined. A comparison of different individualistic strategies for decision making will be discussed.
