    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The current research explores the role of two different\nmotives underlying volunteering (or defecting) in a simple\neconomic game. We find in Study 1 that in a symmetric\nVolunteer’s Dilemma (VoD) the willingness to volunteer is\nreduced more strongly by an increase in the payoff for\nunilateral defection (suggesting more greed) than by an\nincrease in the payoff for mutual defection (suggesting less\nfear). In Study 2, we replicate this finding when only the\nparticipants’ own payoffs are varied, but not when only the\nother player’s payoffs are varied. These findings are\ninconsistent with standard (i.e., Nash) game-theoretic\npredictions and Schelling’s focal-point hypothesis. Instead,\nthe empirical patterns suggest that participants approach the\nVoD using egocentric decision heuristics.",
