Abstract
In a Prisoner’s Dilemma Game it was found that location of response switch did not bias the strategy selections of Ss. No DD outcome occurred for any pair of Ss on the first trial, but initial trial CC outcomes were followed by more cooperations than were initial trial CD outcomes. Females displayed more “trust” than did males.
