20、o hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The game is based on the tension (矛盾；对立) between the interests (利益) of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equality.

21、But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation.
