Document Summary
The community game vs the wall street game by liberman, samuels and ross (2002) Personality traits meant nothing in this economic/psychology experiment. When the game was called community game, about 70% of people decided to cooperate, while when it was called wall street game the number is typically 50/50. The condition and the situation rather than the personality of the person influences the behaviour of people. And the situation is very subtle, and sometimes subconscious. The study of the perceived feelings, thoughts, and behaviours of other people, and how this influences the behaviour of these people. Everyone is constantly effected by the real or imagined situation and people surrounding them. Perceived situation typically works just as well as actually being in it. And also how we perceive the situation and how we perceive it effecting us. Said more precisely, it is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another.
