We introduce a new rule-following task, the "Y task" & show with data from 7,000+ people - who are either ingroup or outgroup - that rule breaking is contagious regardless of group identity. Rule-following remains high despite rule-breaking, supporting results from previous research
New publication by Cristina Bicchieri and current & former @UoNCeDEx res Simon Gaechter, @lucasmolleman.bsky.social and Daniele Nosenzo on the role of group identity (ingroup vs outgroup) for rule following: doi.org/10.1016/j.je...
A crisp summary by MORETHANNOW for Substack of our paper Why people follow rules: Why do people follow rules? open.substack.com/pub/morethan...
Very interesting cross-cultural research including former @uoncedex.bsky.social researcher @jonathanschulz.bsky.social
For a short explainer with background info have a look at rdcu.be/exrN2
Our paper on Why people follow rules is now published in the July Issue of @nathumbehav.nature.com. Check it our here: doi.org/10.1038/s415...
"people expect rule-conformity and view it as socially appropriate. Rule-breaking is contagious but remains moderate. Pro-social motives and extrinsic incentives increase rule-conformity, but unconditional rule-following and social expectations explain most of it."
