Dominique J De Quervain, Urs Fischbacher, Valerie Treyer, Melanie Schellhammer in World (2004)Many people voluntarily incur costs to punish violations of social norms. Evolutionary models and empirical evidence indicate that such altruistic punishment has been a decisive force in the evolution of human cooperation. We used H2 15O positron…Save reference to library · Related research 22 readers

Robert Boyd, Herbert Gintis, Samuel Bowles, Peter J Richerson in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2003)Both laboratory and field data suggest that people punish noncooperators even in one-shot interactions. Although such altruistic punishment may explain the high levels of cooperation in human societies, it creates an evolutionary puzzle: existing…Save reference to library · Related research 169 readers

Vani A Mathur, Tokiko Harada, Trixie Lipke, Joan Y Chiao in NeuroImage (2010)A central evolutionary challenge for social groups is uniting a heterogeneous set of individuals towards common goals. One means by which social groups form and endure is by endowing group members with extraordinary prosocial proclivities, such as…Save reference to library · Related research 51 readers

Pat Barclay in Evolution and Human Behavior (2006)Many studies show that people act cooperatively and are willing to punish free riders (i.e., people who are less cooperative than others). However, nonpunishers benefit when free riders are punished, making punishment a group-beneficial act.…Save reference to library · Related research 52 readers

Alexander Strobel, Jan Zimmermann, Anja Schmitz, Martin Reuter, Stefanie Lis, Sabine Windmann, in NeuroImage (2011)It is still debated how altruistic punishment as one form of strong reciprocity has established during evolution and which motives may underlie such behavior.

Ernst Fehr, Simon Gächter in Nature (2005)Fehr and Gächter reply - Fowler et al. raise an important question. They correctly argue that the desire to reduce inequality may motivate cooperators who altruistically punish free riders in our experiments.

James H Fowler, Tim Johnson, Oleg Smirnov in Nature (2005)Altruistic punishment is a behaviour in which individuals punish others at a cost to themselves in order to provide a public good.

Harmen De Weerd, Rineke Verbrugge in Journal of Theoretical Biology (2011)Evolutionary models for altruistic behavior typically make the assumption of homogeneity: each individual has the same costs and benefits associated with cooperating with each other and punishing for selfish behavior. In this paper, we relax this…Save reference to library · Related research 17 readers
