Cooperative interaction is a type of group problem-solving in which all group members have the same goal or objective and share equally in reward and punishment

Objective and Outcome Dynamics: Cooperative Interaction

The dynamic in which social dilemmas may cause group members to have different objectives, and the rewards and punishments vary for all group members.

Objective and Outcome Dynamics: Mixed-Motive Interaction

Certain dynamics may impact the outcomes of reaching or not reaching an objective in group-problem solving. This can be in reference to group cohesion and the capability of  group to work together to solve a problem.
