The mere possibility of invoking Colombia’s “no sea sapo” social norm, which tells people to mind their own business, does not just offset but entirely counteracts social norm enforcement through third-party punishment.

Psychologists often draw their 'theories' from their intuitions, schooled by their personal experiences. In this new manuscript, led by @MohammadAtari90, we argue that this reliance has led to a field built around WEIRD Questions.

*Oromo women in Ethiopia*

The "Siinque" is a stick that is handed down from generation to generation.

This ancient system offers protection to Oromo women in Ethiopia.

Disapproval by itself is not enough to maintain long-term cooperation – punishment must have tangible consequences. New paper by Adam Sparks, Tyler Burleigh and Pat Barclay @Journal_EHS | Evolutionary Human Sciences | Cambridge Core - https://t.co/dwXEnvYBpf

Prejudice is often rooted in misperceptions: that the outgroup are lazy, unpatriotic, etc. Our new field experiment asks: to reduce misperceptions, is it better to become close with one outgroup member (deep contact), or to have brief encounters with many (broad contact)?

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

Intergroup contact is arguably the most studied prejudice-reduction intervention.

However, recent meta-analyses of experimental contact interventions find signs of p-hacking and file drawer problems.

In an effort to avoid such biases, this new working paper by @hmmlowe carries out a meta-analysis of 34 pre-registered contact experiments, considering only treatment effects on pre-registered primary outcomes.

He finds limited positive effects of intergroup contact of around only 5% of a standard deviation.

He also finds that contact is more effective at changing behavior and attitudes towards people that are met than toward outgroups as a whole.

🚨Excited that our meta-analysis is out in JPSP @APA_Journals. We synthesized 6 decades (1958-2017) of empirical evidence on social dilemmas and tested which structural features (most strongly) promote cooperation:

As I've said since the late 1990s, experimental games are designed, with cues of money and anonymity, to tap "impersonal social norms" NOT dispositional preferences. Probably a long thread coming...

[Pat Savage (@PatrickESavage.bsky.social) @PatrickESavage]

Anyone have thoughts/references regarding self-report vs. behavioral economics measurements of prosociality/trust/cooperation (e.g., public goods games) in light of this excellent new review?
