This study investigates differences in asymmetry of knowledge between competition and cooperation. Study 1 investigated the effects of competition and cooperation on interpersonal asymmetry and intrapersonal asymmetry. Participants, in 46 pairs, were assigned to either the competitive or cooperation condition, and questionnaires measuring asymmetry were administered before and after the manipulation. Before the manipulation, asymmetry in intrapersonal knowledge was observed but asymmetry in interpersonal knowledge was not. After the condition manipulation, asymmetry was observed in the competition condition more than the cooperation condition. There was no change in the asymmetry of the knowledge in competition condition and the asymmetry of the intrapersonal knowledge in cooperation condition. However, the asymmetry of interpersonal knowledge in cooperation condition decreased after cooperation manipulation. Study 2 examined the effects of competition and cooperation on the asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge that was not observed in Study 1 and individual differences related to the asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge. Participants, in 47 pairs, were assigned to either the competitive or cooperation condition. Prior to the manipulation, questionnaires measuring private self-consciousness, independent self-construal and the asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge were administered and the asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge questionnaire was conducted after the manipulation. The asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge was observed before the manipulation, and after the condition manipulation the asymmetry of intrapersonal knowledge was greater in the competitive condition than in the cooperative condition. Also, private self-consciousness and independent self-construal were correlated with intrapersonal perception. However, no moderating effect of the private self-consciousness and independent self-construal was observed.
