根据一个可以追溯到大卫休谟的传统,社会习俗有一种自然的倾向,会变成规范。尽管激励措施发生了变化,但规范性提高了遵守程度并稳定了个人行为。在本文中,我们报告了证实这一观点的实验数据,并鼓励对人类社会性的温和乐观的结论:习惯提供了额外的粘合剂,使个体保持在一起,并防止他们屈服于反社会的诱惑,即使惩罚是不可能的。(C)2010 Elsevier BV保留所有权利。
According to a tradition that goes back to David Hume, social conventions have a natural tendency to turn into norms. Normativity increases compliance and stabilizes individual behaviour in spite of changes in incentives. In this paper we report experimental data that confirm this insight and encourage mildly optimistic conclusions regarding human sociality: habits provide extra glue that keeps individuals together, and prevents them from succumbing to anti-social temptation even when punishment is unlikely.
