Summary/Abstract: Culture provides concepts, tools and underlying normative structure that shape the way humans perceive and act in the world, including the social one. „Social self-conscioussnes” is the shared knowledge of the members of a certain community of this community: its features, identity, and the way it functions. Hence, social self-conscioussnes influences the set of the assumptions concerning the motivations and attitudes of alter in social interactions. The image of the Polish society is rooted in the shared axioma of Poles being brave nation, but poor society: unable to cooperate, divided, distrustful etc. If used by people to choose the strategy of social action, this image leads to individualistic strategies, closing them inside the permanent prisoner’s dilemma.
