Abstract Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation. However, little is known about how preferred responses to norm violations vary across cultures domains. In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples 22,863 students non-students), we measured perceptions the appropriateness various violation cooperative atypical social behaviors. Our findings highlight both cultural universals variation. We find universal negative relation...
The emergence of COVID-19 dramatically changed social behavior across societies and contexts. Here we study whether norms also changed. Specifically, this question for cultural tightness (the degree to which generally have strong norms), specific (e.g. stealing, hand washing), about enforcement, using survey data from 30,431 respondents in 43 countries recorded before the early stages following COVID-19. Using variation disease intensity, shed light on mechanisms predicting changes norm...
According to the theory of bounded generalized reciprocity (BGR), intergroup contexts afford individuals assumption that indirect is by group membership, and this shapes ingroup favouritism in cooperation. The hypothesized result favouritisms via two pathways: it leads people behave ways earn maintain a positive reputation eyes ingroup, but not outgroup, members (the management hypothesis), expect other be more cooperative than outgroup expectation hypothesis). In words, BGR offers parallel...
Abstract The target article offers a game-theoretical analysis of primitive intergroup aggression (i.e., raiding) and discusses difficulties in achieving peace. We argue the does not capture actual strategy space, missing out “do-nothing.” Experimental evidence robustly shows people prefer doing nothing against out-group members over cooperating with/attacking them. Thus, overestimates likelihood aggression.
When someone violates a social norm, others may think that some sanction would be appropriate. We examine how the experience of emotions like anger and disgust relate to judged appropriateness sanctions, in pre-registered analysis data from large-scale study 56 societies. Across world, we find individuals who over norm violation are more likely endorse confrontation, ostracism and, smaller extent, gossip. Moreover, is consistently strongest predictor judgments compared other emotions....
Gossip, the exchange of information about absent others, is ingrained in system indirect reciprocity, which participating members selectively interact and cooperate with others a good reputation. Previous psychological theorizing suggests that reciprocity perceived to be bounded by group membership. We aimed examine whether group-bounded perspective explains intergroup gossip. thus explored how membership shapes expectations gossip used willingness within across boundaries. conducted three...
Abstract Previous studies on psychological adaptations to pathogen threats revealed the link between psychology and group behavior, especially in-group-oriented mindsets such as conformity, endorsement of binding moral values. The relationship behavioral immune responses in-group attitudes has been mostly discussed in relation adaptive strategy avoid pathogens. Yet, there is other side system: reactive defense against pathogens (e.g., soliciting social support from others). By operationally...
Abstract The World Health Organization (World Organization, 2020) announced the COVID‐19 outbreak as a pandemic. Globally, this situation affects people in various domains including mental health. Existing theories and research findings suggest justice beliefs are associated with health may help to cope adverse life circumstances. Participants ( N = 3694) 15 Asian nations completed measures of belief just world (BJW), Karma, system justification, well‐being indices impact. results show that...
Gossip can promote cooperation via reputational concern.However, the relative effectiveness of positive and negative gossip in fostering prosociality has not been examined.The present study explored influence on prosocial behavior, using an economic game.Supporting previous evidence, it was found that individuals were more when any kind possible, compared to their behavior completely anonymous.However, there no significant difference efficiency promoting between gossip, suggesting is concern...

As such, individuals are motivated to avoid displaying socially disapproved behaviour. Previous studies have found that with power (i.e., those who can asymmetrically influence others) tend show behaviours would damage their (e.g.,...
Abstract Gossip promotes prosocial behavior via reputational concern. However, the relative effectiveness of positive and negative gossip has been understudied. I examined to what extent promoted when a potential consequence was positively framed (a third party offering financial bonus) negatively deducting bonus). found that gossip, irrespective its valence, generosity concern in both contexts. Yet, analyses suggested may have stronger effect promoting prosociality. The findings, together...
In-group favouritism is ubiquitous and previous studies have consistently found that individuals cooperate more with in-group members than out-group in diverse contexts. Yet, there has not been much research on the role of nature groups intergroup cooperation. A recent study stronger levels amongst formed basis shared moral values. However, it remained unclear whether increased was caused by a greater tendency to act favourably towards or derogatorily out-group. The present thus investigated...
Gossip plays an essential role in our societies, and individuals gossip about others' behavior for various reasons. While previous studies have consistently demonstrated that are more willing to norm deviations, existing research has understudied the potential of group membership target (i.e. a person who is gossiped about) recipient (a to) on tendency instigate deviation. We conducted study (N = 1038) which we orthogonally manipulated as well types (normative, negative deviation, positive...
Individuals sometimes prefer to anonymously donate money when they can publicly do so. In other words, deliberately hide their costly prosocial behavior from a broad audience. While existing research has collated various evolutionary theories emphasizing the value of public behavior, it not endeavored address preference for anonymous giving. The article discussed potential explanations and pointed importance further scholarly discussion about function behavior.
There is a long-standing debate in philosophy and the social sciences about how selfishness cooperation function dyadic exchanges. Dyads are foundation of our lives, reciprocity has long been considered dominant strategy for interactions. We will argue repertoire human behavior during exchanges ranges from punishment to generosity, that nuances relationship interaction dictate which likely occur. examine emotional consequences punishment, reciprocity, forgiveness long-term Finally, we dyads...
Social dominance orientation (SDO), the general attitudes towards group-based inequality and dominance, is a key tenet of social theory, previous studies have found SDO correlated with wide range variables related to intergroup attitudes. In this research, we developed Japanese version short scale (J-SSDO). We collected 632 participants across different regions in Japan investigated factor-structure, internal reliability construct validity J-SSDO. Overall, J-SSDO was low, while it similar...
Social identity theory posits that individuals perceive the in-group as a homogenous entity comprised of depersonalized individuals, and this has provided foundation to understand intergroup processes for many years. Cross-cultural research suggested social may not apply East Asians, who conceptualize their in-groups differently than those in from Western cultures. Specifically, Yuki colleagues contend Asians networks wherein each individual is connected through personal ties, rather...
Individuals display the tendency to cooperate more with in-group members than they do out-group (i.e. favoritism) across diverse contexts. While previous studies have thoroughly investigated favoritism when a single social category is salient, understudied how individuals others multiple categories are simultaneously salient. To bridge this gap, we conducted study examine cooperation under crossed categorization, in which two dichotomous orthogonally crossed. We then examined psychological...
The state's monopoly on sovereignty can be challenged by criminal systems capable of gaining legitimacy within communities. Understanding the psychological basis such requires broadening traditional conceptualizations authority to consider how it operates without legal backing and outside formal channels. This research introduces Legitimacy Secret Power (L-SP) Scale, a tool measuring individuals' appraisal illegal groups' power. We validated L-SP through three studies (N total = 3,173)....
