MAZZOLENI, Martina  and  IGLESIAS, Fabio. Decomposed Social Value Measure: an alternative based on Game Theory. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.3, pp. 361-370. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2022.2103.22048.12.

Social Value Orientation (SVO) is an individual characteristic that expresses the value one attributes to their own and other people's results, while revealing the disposition to sacrifice personal interests. The present study aimed to adapt and gather evidence of validity for the Social Value Orientation Slider Measure, as an alternative to traditional self-report instruments. Participants (N=176) answered the measure, the Cooperation-Competitiveness Scale, and a printed version of the prisoner's dilemma. The SVO was negatively correlated with competitive attitudes. There were no differences in SVO scores based on the prisoner's dilemma choices. The psychometric properties of the measure and its limitations and potential uses in social dilemma and cooperation research, are discussed.

Keywords : Social value orientation; Social dilemmas; Cooperation.
