Online labor markets provide new opportunities for behavioral research, but conducting economic experiments online raises important methodological challenges. This particularly holds interactive designs. In this paper, we a discussion of the similarities and differences between conducted in laboratory online. To end, conduct repeated public goods experiment with without punishment using samples from platform Amazon Mechanical Turk. We chose to replicate because it is long logistically...

Significance We report on a two-step decision-making experiment. The first part shows that humans differ consistently in the way they learn from others. Some individuals are success-based learners, who try to identify successful peers and mimic their behavior. Others frequency-based tend adopt most frequent behavior group. second reveals these differences social learning have important consequences for outcome of interactions. In situations where participants had choose between selfish...

Humans owe their ecological success to great capacities for social learning and cooperation: from others helps individuals adjust environment can promote cooperation in groups. Classic recent studies indicate that the cultural organization of societies shapes influence information on decision making suggest collectivist values (prioritizing group relative individual) increase tendencies conform majority. However, it is unknown whether how societal background impacts cooperative interactions....

Models of cultural evolution study how the distribution traits changes over time. The dynamics strongly depends on way these are transmitted between individuals by social learning. Two prominent forms learning payoff-based (imitating others that have higher payoffs) and conformist locally common behaviours). How affect cooperation is currently a matter lively debate, but few studies systematically analyse interplay Here we perform such investigating interaction affects outcome in three...

Learning to successfully navigate social environments is a critical developmental goal, predictive of long-term wellbeing. However, little known about how people learn adjust different environments, and this behaviour emerges across development. Here, we use series economic games assess children, adolescents, young adults that differ in their level cooperation (i.e., trust coordination). Our results show an asymmetric pattern: adjustment requiring uncooperative remains constant adolescence,...

Peer punishment is widely considered a key mechanism supporting cooperation in human groups. Although much research shows that behavior shaped by the prevailing social norms, little known about how decisions are impacted context. We present set of large-scale incentivized experiments which participants (999 American recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk) could punish their partner conditional on either level or displayed others who previously interacted same setting. While many independently...

Abstract Many experiments on human cooperation have revealed that individuals differ systematically in their tendency to cooperate with others. It has also been shown condition behaviour the overall level of peers. Yet, little is known about how respond heterogeneity cooperativeness neighbourhood. Here, we present an experimental study investigating whether and people heterogeneous a public goods game. We find large majority subjects does group, but they quite different ways. Most contribute...

SUMMARY Non-timber forest products form a substantial contribution to the livelihood of many rural communities worldwide. In Western Ghats, India, epiphytic macrolichens are harvested by Paliyan tribes generate supplementary income. employ two harvesting methods: shallow harvesting, with minimum attached bark substratum, and deep which exposes sapwood. To evaluate regeneration lichen community in terms species diversity, abundance composition, 320 samples up 50 cm 2 were collected from...

The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies individuals in groups, and information that have about each other's cooperativeness. However, it is unclear whether these two factors an interactive effect dynamics. Using a decision-making experiment, we confirm groups comprising with higher cooperate at level than low tendencies. Moreover, assorting similar tendency together affected behaviour so most cooperative tended to more least cooperated...
