Same‐sex groups were confronted with mathematically equivalent social dilemma games, framed as take‐some or give‐some games. For choice behaviour no difference between take‐some and give‐some games was observed. However, in take‐some games subjects were more inclined to relinquish decision‐making authority to a leader than in give‐some games. Some rival interpretations of these data are offered.
