文化背景是否会影响遗传无关个体在社会困境中的合作成功？在本文中，我们通过分析Herrmann等人（2008 a）的数据提供了一个答案，他们研究了来自六种不同世界文化的16个受试者池（由Inglehart & Baker（2000）分类）的合作和惩罚。我们使用方差分析来解开的重要性，文化背景相对于个人的异质性和群体水平的差异，在合作。我们发现，文化的合作程度有很大的影响，除了个人的异质性和群体水平的差异，以前的研究确定。这一结果的意义在于，文化背景对在其他方面相同的环境中的合作具有重大影响。在有惩罚机会的情况下尤其如此。
Does the cultural background influence the success with which genetically unrelated individuals cooperate in social dilemma situations? In this paper, we provide an answer by analysing the data of Herrmann et al. (2008a), who studied cooperation and punishment in 16 subject pools from six different world cultures (as classified by Inglehart & Baker (2000)). We use analysis of variance to disentangle the importance of cultural background relative to individual heterogeneity and group-level differences in cooperation. We find that culture has a substantial influence on the extent of cooperation, in addition to individual heterogeneity and group-level differences identified by previous research. The significance of this result is that cultural background has a substantial influence on cooperation in otherwise identical environments. This is particularly true in the presence of punishment opportunities.
