Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the prisoner's dilemma, if both players choose to cooperate, they can achieve a more beneficial outcome than if they both choose to defect (noncooperate). However, the dilemma arises because each player has an incentive to defect to try to achieve a better individual outcome, leading to a worse outcome for both.
