Most research has also shown that the number of iterations influence the amount of cooperation. If the game is played again and again then the level of cooperation increases, this is referred to as the "norm of reciprocity".

Prisoner's dilemma games illustrate this point the best. People are only as selfless as they need to be to receive the same selfless behavior in return.
