Psychology and social planning

• Society embraces various collective resources such as education, health care, infra structure, and natural resources. To preserve collective resources, citizens must be prepared to cooperate and voluntarily contribute to their maintenance or realization. However, cooperation may require that individuals exercise some personal restraint. Such conflicts between collective and individual interests are in psychology referred to as social dilemmas. Building upon experimental research, this chapter highlights under what conditions people are willing to serve the common good.
