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 unclear whether these two factors have an interactive effect
on cooperation dynamics. Using a decision-making experiment, we confirm that groups
comprising individuals with higher cooperation tendencies cooperate at a higher level than
groups comprising individuals with low cooperation tendencies. Moreover, assorting individuals
with similar cooperation tendency together affected behaviour so that the most cooperative
individuals tended to cooperate more and the least cooperative individuals cooperated
less, compared to their behaviour in randomly formed groups. In line with predictions of evolutionary
models of cooperation, there was a strong positive association between individuals’
cooperation tendency and success when groups were formed assortatively, whereas
such association did not exist when groups were formed randomly. Surprisingly, information
about group members’ cooperativeness in assorted groups had no effect on cooperation
levels. We discuss potential explanations for why information about cooperativeness of others
may be disregarded in certain circumstances.

Evolution of conflict and cooperation in human groups
Junikka, Jaakko (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The scale of human cooperation and conflict is outstanding and evolutionarily challenging to explain. Cooperative and hostile behaviours have deep evolutionary roots and adaptive functions. However, theoretical models ... -
Unravelling the many facets of human cooperation in an experimental study
Rostovtseva, Victoria V.; Puurtinen, Mikael; Méndez Salinas, Emiliano; Cox, Ralf F. A.; Groothuis, Antonius G. G.; Butovskaya, Marina L.; Weissing, Franz J. (Nature Publishing Group, 2023)Humans readily cooperate, even with strangers and without prospects of reciprocation. Despite thousands of studies, this finding is not well understood. Most studies focussed on a single aspect of cooperation and were ... -
