This paper shows how a game called the prisoner's dilemma can help us understand how people react in conflicts. The researchers looked at how participants felt when the other player didn't cooperate. They found that participants felt angry because they thought the outcomes were unfair. This study demonstrates how social games can be useful in studying human behavior in different fields.
