Downing, Leslie L.; Bothwell, Kenneth H., Jr.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n4 p478-84 Aug 1979
The Prisoner's Dilemma Game and locus of control measures were administered to eighth graders enrolled in an open or closed space school. Open-space students developed cooperative interdependence and made seating choices indicative of anticipated peer interaction most frequently. Interactions involving sex and race were obtained for cooperation and locus at control. (Author/RD)
