  • If we reinterpret these phenomena in terms of a consistently
    game-playing model of behavior, the need to distinguish be-
    tween primary and secondary gains disappears. The correla-
    tive
    necessity to estimate the relative significance of physio-

    of social and interpersonal factors on the other, also vanishes.
    Since needs and impulses cannot be said to exist in human
    social life without specified rules for dealing with them, in-
    stinctual needs cannot be considered solely in terms of biologi-
    cal rules, but must also be viewed in terms of their psycho-
    social significance—that is, as parts of the game.
