With social dilemma. No principled distinction between collective action problem and social dilemma is made in the articles, and I am not aware of any from the academic literature. Moreover, a great deal of the content is duplicated. "Collective action problem" generates more hits on google and is less used with other meanings, so I would suggest that the merger go into that page. Unfortunately I don't have the time to make the merge myself right now, but I would suggest that people hold off on editing this page further until a merger is completed.

In the Conclusions section, its author appeared to have a particular positive bias towards the direction of research undertaken on the collective action problem: 'Fortunately, the literature on the subject is expanding [italics mine] ...' and 'It is encouraging that researchers from various behavioral sciences are developing unifying theoretical frameworks to study social dilemmas [italics mine] ...'. This must be corrected. Factthinker (talk) 15:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the last paragraph should be removed entirely, as well as the last sentence of the second-to-last paragraph? That doesn't leave much remaining of the conclusion section, however, so it might make more sense to remove the whole section? It doesn't add much value and only seems to serve as a pointer to further reading on some sort-of related subjects. 20after4 (talk) 02:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
