Abstract
In a real-time, incentivized, three-person coalition game (N=567) we found that perspective-taking influenced the main coalition formation outcomes. Individuals with higher levels of dispositional perspective-taking were more likely to be included in coalitions as well as obtaining higher payoffs. However, we found mixed evidence on whether perspective-takers reach agreements faster.
