Abstract

Long considered to be compliant wives and dedicated mothers, Chinese women in this study demonstrate competitiveness equal to that evidenced by Chinese and American males. In a prisoner's dilemma task, Chinese and American males and females are paired cross-culturally and in mixed or same gender pairs. Trust is manipulated across three stages in building, breaking, and repairing trust. Preliminary results suggest that Chinese females were more competitive than American females and as competitive as American and Chinese males.
