Abstract

Students with high reciprocation wariness, a general fear of exploitation in interpersonal relationships, showed (a) a markedly reduced positive response to cooperative communication in a Prisoner's Dilemma bargaining task, (b) a greater negative response to uncooperative communication, and (c) an increased positive response to the prospect of long-term interaction. Reciprocation wariness appears to inhibit the establishment and strengthening of interpersonal relationships.
