Aquí exploramos cómo la cooperación en el dilema del prisionero se correlaciona con la competitividad en una muestra de 9-12 años de edad los niños en Colombia y Suecia. A través de dos medidas diferentes y cuatro tareas diferentes para la competitividad, no encontramos ninguna relación consistente entre cooperación y competición. Sin embargo, encontramos evidencia de una relación negativa entre la voluntad de competir en una tarea de matemáticas y la disposición a cooperar en la muestra global. Competitividad en matemáticas previamente se ha relacionado con las elecciones educativas, y por lo tanto puede ser la relación económica más relevante.27 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 13 Marzo de 2015https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/012644.htmlCooperativeness and competitiveness in childrenCooperación y competitividad en niñosDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPCooperationCompetitivenessExperimentChildrenCompetitividad - Investigaciones - ColombiaNiños - Comportamiento - ColombiaNiños - Comportamiento - SueciaCompetitividad - Investigaciones - SueciaC91, D03, J13Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2015-13.pdf.jpgdcede2015-13.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg9028https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/904bfd3b-bf8d-4395-80ff-13efaffe2bf2/download46fda829680bf43e5afcea11d0bf758dMD55TEXTdcede2015-13.pdf.txtdcede2015-13.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain85405https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/8d6c388f-729c-4228-bdf3-7d63292f68d6/downloadf17ca03dff1eb92db4e181078cb4be24MD54ORIGINALdcede2015-13.pdfdcede2015-13.pdfapplication/pdf427462https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/9b5e93a1-efe4-41cc-87c3-f5e5548ee904/download5459c63cda593b60fcd223c084e3884bMD511992/8550oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/85502024-06-04 15:30:56.452http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
