关于叛乱组织的信息是内战中的核心资源：反叛乱分子寻求它，叛乱分子保护它，平民经常交换它，然而，尽管它在内战动态中发挥着重要作用，但由于线人“提示”的机密性质，人们对告知的行为仍然知之甚少。作为另一种研究策略，我们使用了一个原始的2,700名受访者在100个村庄的调查实验，以检查对和平卫士计划，一个广泛的运动，由国际安全援助部队在阿富汗招募当地线人的态度。我们发现，同种族的偏见，系统的倾向，有利于与同种族的合作，形状的态度，告知和信仰报复，特别是在塔吉克受访者。即使在调整了额外的解释和潜在的混杂变量后，这种偏见仍然存在，这表明身份的考虑，如共同种族可能会影响战时环境中对高风险行为的态度。
Information about insurgent groups is a central resource in civil wars: counterinsurgents seek it, insurgents safeguard it, and civilians often trade it. Yet despite its essential role in civil war dynamics, the act of informing is still poorly understood, due mostly to the classified nature of informant “tips.” As an alternative research strategy, we use an original 2,700 respondent survey experiment in 100 villages to examine attitudes toward the Guardians of Peace program, a widespread campaign by the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan to recruit local informants. We find that coethnic bias—the systematic tendency to favor cooperation with coethnics—shapes attitudes about informing and beliefs about retaliation, especially among Tajik respondents. This bias persists even after adjusting for additional explanations and potential confounding variables, suggesting that identity considerations such as coethnicity may influence attitudes toward high-risk behavior in wartime settings.
