When individuals in a group have incentives to hoard information, the           group may be less effective in achieving its goals.  Mixed motives              both to communicate and accumulate information create a "social                 dilemma" in which group and individual goals are in conflict.  This             project consists of a series of laboratory experiments designed to              examine the ways in which communication patterns in networks are                distorted by incentives to save information.  The experiments will              test the hypothesis that the vulnerability of communication networks            to this type of conflict is a function of the distribution of                   information.  Networks should be more vulnerable when they have                 potentially competing centers and less vulnerable when there is either          one clearly central position or the network is widely decentralized.            The contribution of the work will be to unite social psychological              approaches to social dilemmas with sociological work on social                  networks.
