Abstract: The culture of cynicism expresses that problems in sustainable financial resource security could come from the historical distrust of society members and the government. This study uses a simulated experiment to evaluate this claim while analyzing possible solutions to escape this non-cooperation trap. Therefore, it analyzes the “reasons behind this non-cooperation” while evaluating effective methods to get out of it with an experimental approach using the gaming method as a simulation tool. In this experiment, more than 1,200 people participated in the game through a telegram robot. The experiment results show that people’s cooperation with the government is affected by the government's performance more than the cooperation between other society members or their previous experiences. Finally, a logistic regression model is presented to predict the behavior of participants in the future.
