📊We found that perceived normative honour values were associated with greater competition and greater cooperation at both societal and individual levels.

🔍We assessed both individual and family facets of honour, and examined the cultural logic of honour from subjective endorsement of cultural values to intersubjective perceptions of normative values in one’s society, and further extending to societal-level cultural phenomena.

🌍Nine of the 13 societies—Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus (both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities), Lebanon, Egypt and Morocco—were in the Mediterranean region, where the cultural logic of honour plays a role in psychological tendencies and social behaviours.

🔍We asked how the cultural logic of honour may shape competition and cooperation. Participants made incentivized competition decisions in a contest game and cooperation decisions for coordination in a step-level public goods game.

🚨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.
