Manyofthemostchallengingissuesofsocietyinvolveincreasingthecollectivegood,butpeopleoftenarecaughtbetweencooperatingandcompeting(i.e.,socialdilemmas;Komorita&Parks,1996;Messick&Brewer,1983;Schroeder,1995;Shepperd,1993).Forexample,althoughmostpeopleagreethatcontributingtopublicservices,recyclingwaste,conservingenergy,andrefrainingfromoverharvestingaregreatideas,fewerengageinsuchactivities.Individualscanexploitthecollective.Consider,forexample,fishingtheoceans.Itmaybeprofitableforindividualstomaximizeself-interestsbyharvestingallthefishtheycan.However,ifothersdidthesame,theresourcemightdryup,andallwouldbeworseoff.Ina1968article,Hardinusedtheterm‘‘tragedyofthecommons’’todescribesuchascenario.
Inthestudyreportedhere,wetestedanovel,theoreticallydrivenapproachtofurtheringcooperationinsocialdilemmas.Ourhypothesiswasderivedfromconstrual-leveltheory(CLT;Liberman,Sagristano,&Trope,2002;Trope&Liberman,2003),whichproposesthateventsarementallyrepresentedinglobal,abstract,andsuperordinateform(high-levelconstruals)orinspecific,concrete,andsubordinateform(low-levelconstruals).
Wehypothesizedthathigh-level,relativetolow-level,construalswouldincreasecooperationinsocialdilemmasforseveralinterrelatedreasons.First,insocialdilemmas,selfinterestsarefundamentallycontingentoncollectiveinterests(Kerr&Tindale,2004),whichmakescollectiveslogicallysuperordinate.Becausehigh-levelconstrualsweightsuperordinateconcernsprominently,theymaypromotecollectiveinterests(cooperation).Second,moralprinciplesaremoreabstractthanspecificbehaviors(Eyal,Liberman,&Trope,2008),andthuscooperatingmaybeconstruedmorehighly(e.g.,‘‘conservingtheenvironment’’)thancompeting(e.g.,‘‘takingfromthepool’’).Third,high-levelconstrualsareseenintermsofdesirability,andlow-levelconstrualsintermsoffeasibility(Libermanetal.,2002);thus,cooperation(desirableinsocialdilemmas)maybegreaterwithhigher-levelconstruals.Finally,socialdilemmasinvolveself-control;short-termgainsaresupplantedbylong-termgoals.Peoplehavegreaterself-controlwhenhigh-levelconstrualsareactivated(Fujita,2008).
METHOD
FishingAnalogue
Weusedrobustexperimentalcontrolstoassesschoicesinasocialdilemmaanalogue(Sanna,Parks,&Chang,2003)afterprimingconstrualsusinganunrelatedtask(Freitas,Gollwitzer,&Trope,2004).Eighty-threepsychologystudentsperformedacomputerizedtaskthatmodeledourfishingexample;thegoalwastomakeaprofitwithoutdepletingtheresource.Subjectsweretoldthatalakewasstockedwith100fish,andthatprofitswouldbeconfiscatedifthenumberoffishfellbelow70.Oneachtrial(a‘‘season’’),asubjectcaught15fishandhadtodecidehowmanyfishtokeepforpersonalprofitandhowmanytoreturntorestockthelake.Atableillustratedconsequencesoneachtrial;theseconsequencesfollowedtheequation(5_n)–30,wherenwasthenumberoffishreturned(e.g.,returning8resultedina10-fishincrease).

ConstrualPriming
Beforethefishinganalogue,weprimedhigh-levelconstrualin29subjectsbyaskingthema‘‘why’’questionandprimedlowlevelconstrualin26subjectsbymeansofa‘‘how’’question(Freitasetal.,2004).Thus,duringthehigh-level-construalmanipulation,thetopofthecomputerscreendisplayedthefollowingquestion:

Duringthelow-level-construalmanipulation,thestatement‘‘Maintaingoodphysicalhealth’’appearedatthetopofthecomputerscreenandthequestion‘‘HowdoImaintaingoodphysicalhealth?

DISCUSSION
Ourfindingsindicatethatbroadeningconstrualscanprovideanovel,theoreticallybasedapproachtoeffectivelyincreasecooperationinsocialdilemmasandareconsistentwithCLT(Libermanetal.,2002;Trope&Liberman,2003).Construallevelscanbeinfluencedbyseveraldimensions:
time(latervs.now),socialcloseness(othervs.self),space(elsewherevs.here),andreality(unrealvs.real;Fujita,2008).Thisvariationmayhavewiderimplicationsforsocialdilemmas.
Forinstance,regardingthetimedimension,peopletradeshort-termforlong-termconcernswhentheycooperateinasocialdilemma(Joireman,Strathman,&Balliet,2006).Thefactthatdistantfuturesareconstruedatahigherlevelthannearfuturesmaypartlyexplainwhypolicymakersoftenfinditmorepalatabletopushcooperativeventures(e.g.,conservationlaws)todistantdates.Feelingsimilartootherpeople(Parks,Sanna,&Berel,2001),whichimpliessocialcloseness,likewiseincreasescooperationinsocialdilemmas.Inaddition,furtherdistancesareconstruedmorehighlythanpointsnearby.Thus,althoughwaste-treatmentfacilities,dumps,andlandfillsareimportanttothecollectivegood,nobodywantsthesenearthem(thenot-inmybackyardsyndrome).Peoplearemorecooperativewhenthesearefaraway.
Finally,futureresearchshouldexaminewhenconstrualsaffectcooperationinotherexperimentalandreal-lifesettings,suchasinothertypesofsocialdilemmas(e.g.,Prisoner’sDilemmagamesorpublic-goodsdilemmas),ininterdependentsettings(e.g.,interactionswithincloserelationshipsordecisionsregardingwhethertocontributetocharities;Kelleyetal.,2003),andinnegotiations(Henderson,Trope,&Carnevale,2006).Inshort,wehopeourexperimenthelpsspurfurtherexaminationofthesemixed-motiveinteractions.Webelievethatresearchonthistopicwillhavebroadtheoreticalandappliedimplicationsforincr
