Assume that Liberman,Samuels,and Ross (2004)randomly assigned participants previously identified as cooperative and participants identified as competitive to play a game that was labeled either the "Wall Street Game," or the "Community Game." Further assume that no matter what the game,participants who were identified as competitive behaved more competitively in both groups than did participants who were identified as cooperative.What would these findings suggest?

The findings suggest that the participants' behavior in both games was consistent with their pre-existing personality characteristics as identified in the initial assessment of cooperative or competitive. Therefore, it suggests that cooperation and competition may be based on personality characteristics that sometimes transcend social situations.
