Abstract
Studied adherence to rules as a function of patterns of interdependence inherent in rulemaker-individual interactions as well as of properties pertaining to rule enforcement procedures. Data from 96 undergraduates who played a simulated business game show that individuals observed rules more closely in correspondent than in noncorrespondent rulemaker-individual interactions. In the former, adherence to rules was positively related to the extent of individuals' participation in the rule-making procedure and negatively related to the specificity with which rules were defined. These 2 trends were reversed in a noncorrespondent rulemaker-individual interaction. Finally, an effect attributable to the presence or absence of surveillance was found in the noncorrespondent conditions but not in the correspondent conditions.
