Abstract
Cooperating and trusting behavior may be explained by preferences over social outcomes (people care about others, are unselfish and helpful),
or attitudes to work and social responsibilities (plans have to be carried out, norms have to be followed). If the first hypothesis is true, Agreeableness,
reporting stated empathy for others, should matter most; if the second,
higher score in traits expressing attitude to work, intrinsic motivation (Conscientiousness)
should be correlated with cooperating behavior and trust. We find experimental support for the second hypothesis when subjects provide real mental effort in two treatments with identical task, differing by whether
others' payment is a affected.
