Does increased interdependence (II) increase social interaction / play-performance / learning compared to volountaly cooperation (VC)? Does increased interdependence affect cognitive load / mental effort / process efficiency?
The Experiment: n = 60 (4 excluded); secondary school; age 15-20, M = 16.9, SD = 0.97; 51.8% male Heidelberg, 21-23. March 2016
