| Popis | In this paper, we study whether a behavior in Public Goods Game could be connected with subjects' characteristics in real life. Previous research showed that dangerous drivers watching videos of car accidents revealed lower level of behavioral and neurophysiological empathetic responses compared to safe drivers. Our assumption was that Lower empathy in dangerous drivers have less empathy might result in lower cooperation in the Public Goods Game. We took two groups of subjects: group of "safe drivers" and "dangerous drivers" and we made them perform several tests in order to measure their empathy. We also compared behavior of the two groups in Public Goods Game without and with a possibility of punishment. The groups did not reveal different level of empathy in any of the tasks and their level of contribution did not differ on statistically significant level. However, our data shows that dangerous drivers reacted less to a possibility of punishment than safe drivers. |
