🚨 Excited to share our new paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com!
In a cross-societal online behavioural experiment with 3,371 participants in 13 societies, we found that perceived societal honour norms predict both greater competition and greater cooperation.

📈 New research: Financial scarcity is associated with less perceived control over one's life, but cultural values may be more effective than formal institutions in buffering individuals against these psychological effects.

🚨New article in Proc B:
"Reciprocity evolves more readily in competitive than cooperative socio-ecologies"

Using agent-based evolutionary models, we show that reciprocity emerges more reliably in competitive environments with high exploitation risk.

Do you study cooperation and how it varies across societies, including those that are under-represented? Are you interested in how AI is fundamentally reshaping human cooperation?

If so, don’t miss our special issue on Current Directions in Social Dilemmas Research

Excited this week to present "The Nasty Neighbor Effect in Humans" @imebess.bsky.social: Contrary to coop situations, when interacting with ingroup members in comp situations, humans are actually nastier with ingroups than outgroups.

🚨Excited that our meta-analysis is out in JPSP @APA_Journals. We synthesized 6 decades (1958-2017) of empirical evidence on social dilemmas and tested which structural features (most strongly) promote cooperation:

In-group cooperation coexists with neighbour nastiness—research by @aromano.bsky.social et al found participants competed more when paired to others with the *same* group affiliation than when paired to others with an “out-group” or unknown affiliation: buff.ly/3XNPC2X

Does indirect reciprocity foster or undermine large scale cooperation between groups? And is indirect reciprocity bounded by group membership?

Take a look at our recent comment:
