Abstract
Eighty female Ss served as targets of contingent promise messages sent intermittently during the course of a prisoner’s dilemma game. Ss were either provided with or lacked intentional reply messages to respond to the source and faced an influencer who rewarded target compliance to her promises 0%, 10%, 90%, or 100% of the time. Ss with reply capability were more cooperative on nonpromise occasions than were no-reply Ss, but neither reply availability nor probability of reward mediation affected behavioral compliance. Postgame ratings indicated that Ss in the high probability of reward conditions evaluated the source as more attractive, but less potent, than the source who seldom or never kept her promises.
