AB  - To describe how Serbian online media cover the topic of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TM/CAM), we conducted a content analysis of 182 articles from six news and six magazine websites, published July–December 2021. Biologically based treatments, predominantly herbal products framed as Serbian or Russian folk medicine, were the most common (70.9%, 205/289 practices). The practices were often presented as general health enhancers (18.4%, 71/386 claims); other common reasons given for the use of TM/CAM were to alleviate respiratory problems, boost the immunity, and detox. The tone was overwhelmingly positive, with most of the positive articles (82.4%, 145/176) neglecting to present information on potential harms of TM/CAM use. Few articles provided a recommendation to speak with a healthcare provider (13.6%, 24/176); in contrast, the recommended dosage was often explained (59.7%, 105/176). TM/CAM practitioners (15.9%, 28/176) and conventional medicine practitioners (12.5%, 22/176) were most commonly cited sources. Articles tended to appeal to TM/CAM’s tradition of use (65.3%, 115/176), naturalness (45.5%, 80/176), and convenience (40.9%, 72/176), used pseudoscientific jargon (59.7%, 105/176), and failed to cite sources for the claims that TM/CAM use is supported by science (22.2%, 39/176). Much of the information provided in Serbian online media seems to be uncritical, with a potential for misleading consumers.

Ponašanje ljudi u ovakvim situacijama izučava se preko modela igre u kojoj učesnici odlučuju koliko žele da doprinesu javnom dobru. Za pojedinca je primamljivo da doprinese što manje, nadajući se da će se okoristiti saradljivim ponašanjem ostalih članova kolektiva, ali, ako se svi odluče za nesaradnju, na duže staze je ceo kolektiv na gubitku (tzv. problem grebatorstva, eng. free-riding). Ako pojedinca posmatramo kao homo economicus-a, od njega bi se očekivalo da postupi racionalno upravo time što će postati grebator. Međutim, brojna istraživanja sa igrom „javnog dobra“ u kojima su učesnici stvarne osobe izveštavaju o višoj stopi saradljivosti nego što to predviđa tradicionalna teorija racionalnosti. U ovom radu prikazujem glavne nalaze laboratorijskih i terenskih eksperimenata sa igrom „javnog dobra“ i ilustrujem mogućnosti njihove praktične primene u realnim socijalnim dilemama, kao što su davanje dobrotvornih priloga, volontiranje, plaćanje poreza i ekološki odgovorno ponašanje.
AB  - Social dilemmas are situations characterized by a tension between acting in one's immediate self interest and acting in the longer-term collective interest. Many social dilemmas take the form of a public goods game, in which people decide how much to contribute to a public good (such as paying for public transportation, recycling or engaging in teamwork). One major challenge is the free-rider problem – it is individually tempting to contribute as little as possible to the public good, while profiting off others’ cooperation. If everyone decides to behave uncooperatively, the collective is worse off than it might have been otherwise. In terms of homo economicus characterization of human behavior, free-riding constitutes a rational choice. However, an overwhelming amount of psychological and behavioral economics research shows that players in the public goods game behave more cooperatively than strict rationality would permit. In this paper, I have presented the most important findings from public good experiments in the lab and the field. I have also discussed how this empirical evidence can help interpret some naturally occurring phenomena, like charitable giving, volunteering, tax morale, and management of common-pool natural resources. I conclude by pointing out that the fact that people donate to charities, volunteer, mostly do not evade taxes on a large scale, care for the environment, etc. suggests that rational choice hypothesis is inconsistent with the degree of cooperation in social dilemmas and that psychological game theory approach is required to solve this problem.

AB  - Socijalna dilema je situacija u kojoj postoji sukob između interesa pojedinca i interesa kolektiva i u kojoj je pojedinac često primoran da bira između ličnog i zajedničkog dobitka. Istraživanja pokazuju da doprinos zajedničkom dobru može da se pospeši izmenom sistema raspodele dobitaka od tog dobra među članovima kolektiva, a pogotovo kažnjavanjem tzv. grebatora (eng. free-riders). Grebatori teže da maksimizuju sopstveni dobitak na uštrb ostalih članova. Pored njih, postoje i kooperatori, koji u različitoj meri odlučuju da doprinesu dobru. U ovom istraživanju ispitivali smo da li postoje individualne razlike u reakcijama na pretnju kaznom u igri koja simulira socijalnu dilemu. Pošli smo od pretpostavke da će neki igrači biti saradljivi na strateško-kalkulišući način, tj. da će oni nepošteniji, makijavelističniji, narcisoidniji, psihopatičniji i ekstravertniji biti saradljiviji kada im se zapreti kaznom, nego kada im se ne zapreti. Pored toga, pretpostavili smo da će neki igrači biti saradljivi (oni pošteniji, prijazniji, introvertniji i manje emocionalni, makijavelistični, narcisoidni i psihopatični), odnosno nesaradljivi (oni sadističniji) bez obzira na pretnju kaznom. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 105 ispitanika (prosečnog uzrasta 21 godina, 86 žena). Polovina njih je prvo igrala runde igre javnog dobra bez pretnje, pa odmah zatim sa pretnjom (n=52), a polovina obrnutim redosledom (n=53). Korelacije crta ličnosti sa preusmeravanjem ka saradljivosti, odnosno sa većim doprinosima javnom dobru pod pretnjom kaznom nisu se javile na nivou celog uzorka. Mada su korelacije registrovane na poduzorcima kojima je pretnja kaznom uvedena u različitom trenutku, one su mahom bile nedosledne i umerenog intenziteta, te su potrebne studije prihvatljivije snage na nivou poduzoraka radi izvođenja sigurnijih zaključaka. Pretnja kaznom je pospešila saradljivost na celom uzorku (t(104)=2.48, p=.015), ali je efikasnost, neočekivano, zavisila od redosleda njenog uvođenja. Igrači su bili saradljiviji kada im je bilo zaprećeno kaznom ako su prvo igrali pod pretnjom, pa zatim bez nje (t(52)=7.15, p=.000), ali ne i u obrnutom slučaju. Rezultati su diskutovani posebno u svetlu fenomena tzv. uslovne saradljivosti i razmatrane su njihove implikacije za intervencije u socijalnom okruženju. Pored toga, predloženo je da se u budućim istraživanjima uključe i makroekonomski i makrosocijalni činioci, koji bi mogli da snažnije utiču na doprinos javnom dobru u situacijama socijalne dileme, i to povrh ili uprkos ličnosti pojedinca.
AB  - Social dilemma is a situation of a conflict between self-interest and collective interest, in which a person is often forced to choose between personal and collective gain. Research shows that contributions to the collective good can be enhanced by a change in the payoff structure and especially by punishing free-riders. Free-riders tend to maximize their personal gain, while profiting off of others’ cooperation. In contrast to them, cooperators are willing to contribute to the collective good. In the current research, we examined whether there are individual differences in the reaction to the punishment threat in a social dilemma simulation game. Our hypothesis was that some players (i.e., those low in Honesty, high in Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Extraversion) will cooperate in a calculating manner, strategically shifting to cooperation when threatened with punishment. Also, we hypothesized that some players will be cooperators (i.e., those high in Honesty, Agreeableness, and Introversion, and low in Emotionality, Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy) or free-riders (i.e., those high in Sadism), regardless of the threat of punishment. The research sample included 105 participants (average age: 21 years, 86 women). Half of them played the Public Goods game without the punishment option and then with it (n=52); for the other half the order of the games was reversed (n=53). In the sample as a whole, there were no correlations between cooperation shift or contribution to the public good and personality traits. Although significant correlations were found in the subsamples in which the punishment threat was introduced before or after the no-punishment condition, such correlations were inconsistent and only of moderate strength; therefore, stronger studies are needed in order to draw more reliable conclusions. In the sample as a whole, the punishment threat enhanced cooperativeness (t(104)=2.48, p=.015); but its effectiveness, surprisingly, depended on the order in which it was introduced. Players were more cooperative under the threat of punishment if they played the punishment game before the no-punishment game (t(52)=7.15, p=.000); this was not the case when the order of the games was reversed. We discuss the results in the light of the findings on conditional cooperation and we consider their implications for interventions in the social environment. In addition, we suggest that future research include macroeconomic and macrosocial factors, which could more strongly affect public good contributions in a social dilemma situation, on top of or even despite the personality of the players.
