Using 12 pairs of college males as Ss, a study was done to determine what effect, if any, the introduction of greater amounts of potential reward would have on the number of collaborative responses made by Ss when playing the G-type game introduced by Scodel, et al. (1959). Only 2 of 12 pairs played the game in a collaborative manner. The correlation between the number of collaborative responses and the amount of money for which the game was being played was insignificant. These results support those of Scodel, et al. (1939).
