Description
This study examines the social structure of cooperation and competition in the aged parent and adult child relationship. Elderly parents and adult children may use different strategies to influence each other to resolve conflicts in a way which is mutually rewarding. Using game theory, data (N = 13 dyads) were collected from two mixed-motive games of cooperation and conflict – Prisoner’s Dilemma and Chicken. In particular, the present study explored the emergence of intergenerational cooperation between elderly parents and their adult children; aged parents and adult children dyads were classified into different response state groups regarding their reactive cooperative or competitive strategies; the relation between a dyad’s perception of each other while engaged in a conflict situation was examined; and social and personal characteristics were related to each outcome group. On the basis of the subjects’ interaction, dyads were classified into four stable response outcome groups: (a) cooperators (Doves); (b) competitors (Hawks); (c) dominant-submissive (Dom-Sub); and (d) moderate cooperators (Sneakers). Analysis of their preasymptotic interaction patterns revealed differences among these outcome groups. In particular, Doves made more intentions and actual cooperative behavior than the ot her dyads. Results also indicated a significant effect for the type of conflict: high conflict situation (Chicken game) versus low conflict situation (Prisoner’s dilemma), over couples’ strategic variables. No differences were found with regard of the subject’s personal and social characteristics and their classification into each outcome group. Implications for public policy, family caregiving and intergenerational relations were considered.
