To understand cooperation in social dilemmas, we need to allow for individual variation along several motives and beliefs instead of declaring that cooperativeness is merely self-interested or is merely a consequence of one's culture or the situation. This paper describes three beliefs and eight motives for cooperation or non-cooperation based on research on social dilemmas from a number of disciplines. It also proposes a framework that describes how beliefs and various motives interact with a given situation leading to a specific behavior.
In paper above, I sketch a large number of motives and beliefs which can have a systematic effect on cooperative behavior. Each of these requires further exploration. I have done that in other papers
