What do you think would happen if Prisoner's Dilemma is framed differently?
An example.
Do you think this framing would affect your inititial reaction? General population?
(The wording of the choises is not very elegant, and I am not sure whether presentation is sufficiently symmetrical, but you get the basic idea).
It could be that words such as "prisoner", "prison sentence", "guard" or even "game" and "defect" frame more people to intuitively avoid co-operation.
