  • Ensminger, Jean Evelyn (2014): Experimenting with social norms. Fairness and punishment in cross-cultural perspective. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation

    Abstract: Questions about the origins of human cooperation have long puzzled and divided scientists. Social norms that foster fair-minded behavior, altruism and collective action undergird the foundations of large-scale human societies, but we know little about how these norms develop or spread, or why the intensity and breadth of human cooperation varies among different populations. What is the connection between social norms that encourage fair dealing and economic growth? How are these social norms related to the emergence of centralized institutions? Informed by a pioneering set of cross-cultural data, Experimenting-with Social Norms advances our understanding of the evolution of human cooperation and the expansion of complex societies. Innovative and ambitious, the book synthesizes an unprecedented analysis of social behavior from an immense range of human societies. The fifteen case studies analyzed in this volume, which include field experiments in Africa, South America, New Guinea, Siberia and the United States, are available for free download on the foundation's website.
