A game of strategy represents a situation in which two or more players make choices between available alternatives. When the interests of the players are partly coincident and partly opposed, it is a nonzero‐sum game. The psychologically interesting aspects of this game or of any realistic situation which can be adequately described by it stem from mixed motives, in which the confrontation is not only between the conflicting players but also between the conflicting motives within each player.
