Abstract: The Prisoner's Dilemma paradigm was employed to discover the development characteristics of teenagers' cooperative behaviors. Participants were directed to play Prisoner's Dilemma Game with same-gender friend and stranger respectively. In the procedure, different payoff matrix was randomly presented based on 9 levels of CI (0.1~0.9). The reward entirely depended on outcome of the game. Cooperative rate was computed from frequency of cooperation as a measurement in each conditions. The results of the REGRESSION and ANOVA revealed that:(1)teenagers' cooperative behaviors was showed a increasing tendency with an increasing age;(2) Social Distance had a large influence on college students' cooperative behaviors, but little on middle school students;(3)The individual cooperate would be promoted by CI, which was more obvious for college students than middle school students. The stage differences appeared during the teenager's cooperative behavior development.

Key words: teenager, prisoner's dilemma, cooperative behaviors, social distance, cooperation index
