26-29. Competition and Cooperation
Explanations of the interrelation between competition and cooperation have evolved over
the time. Early research into competition and cooperation defined each of them in terms of the
distribution of rewards related to each. Competition was defined as a situation in which rewards
are distributed unequally on the basis of performance, cooperation on the other hand, was
defined as a situation in which rewards are distributed equally on the basis of mutual interactive
behaviour among individuals. By this definition, a competitive situation requires at least on
competitor to fail for each competitor that wins, while a cooperative situation offers a reward
only if all members of the group receive it.
Interestingly, the word competition is derived from a Latin verb which means “to seek
together.” An understanding of the derivation of the word competition supports the
understanding that cooperation, rather than evoking a characteristic at the opposite extreme of
human nature from competition, is in reality a necessary factor in competition.
