Abstract
Many experiments on human cooperation have revealed that individuals differ systematically in their tendency to cooperate with others. It has also been shown that individuals condition their behaviour on the overall cooperation level of their peers. Yet, little is known about how individuals respond to heterogeneity in cooperativeness in their neighbourhood. Here, we present an experimental study investigating whether and how people respond to heterogeneous behaviour in a public goods game. We find that a large majority of subjects does respond to heterogeneity in their group, but they respond in quite different ways. Most subjects contribute less to the public good when the contributions of their peers are more heterogeneous, but a substantial fraction of individuals consistently contributes more in this case. In addition, we find that individuals that respond positively to heterogeneity have a higher general cooperation tendency. The finding that social responsiveness occurs in different forms and is correlated with cooperativeness may have important implications for the outcome of cooperative interactions.

Prosocial tendencies in despotic rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Schroderus, Veera (2023)Yhteistyöllä on tärkeä merkitys useiden lajien, esimerkiksi kädellisten, sosiaalisten yhteisöjen toiminnassa ja säilymisessä. Yhteistyön evoluutiota on tutkittu paljon, mutta sen välittömät syyt tunnetaan yhä huonosti. ... -
Assortment, but not knowledge of assortment, affects cooperation and individual success in human groups
Junikka, Jaakko; Molleman, Lucas; van den Berg, Pieter; Weissing, Franz J.; Puurtinen, Mikael (Public Library of Science, 2017)The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies of individuals in groups, and on the information that individuals have about each other’s cooperativeness. However, it is ... -
