Abstract

As society evolves, individuals increasingly cooperate with both in-group members and out-group strangers, despite risks such as betrayal. Social identity plays a crucial role in motivating this cooperation, significantly shaping cooperative behavior. This study explores how social identity complexity—arising from the overlapping of multiple social identities—affects intergroup cooperation. Using the Intergroup Parochial and Universal Cooperation (IPUC) game, we examined universal cooperation, weak parochial cooperation, and strong parochial cooperation under different payoff structures—the equal outcomes game (EOG) and the collective incentives game (CIG)—and framing conditions (individual and group frames). The findings reveal that social identity complexity is positively related to universal cooperation and negatively related to strong parochial cooperation. Individuals with high social identity complexity demonstrated higher levels of universal cooperation and lower levels of strong parochial cooperation, particularly within the CIG compared to the EOG. Additionally, individuals with high social complexity showed greater universal cooperation and less strong parochial cooperation in the individual frame compared to the group frame, while those with low social identity complexity exhibited more weak parochial cooperation in the individual frame. These findings suggest that higher social identity complexity fosters intergroup cooperation, with different payoff structures and framing conditions significantly influencing cooperative behavior.

不同报酬结构和框架下社会身份复杂性对群体间狭隘合作和普遍合作的影响
随着社会的发展,尽管存在背叛等风险,但个人越来越多地与群体内成员和群体外陌生人合作。社会身份在激励这种合作方面起着至关重要的作用,并在很大程度上影响着合作行为。本研究探讨了多重社会身份重叠所产生的社会身份复杂性如何影响群体间合作。利用群体间狭隘和普遍合作(IPUC)博弈,我们考察了不同报酬结构--平等结果博弈(EOG)和集体激励博弈(CIG)--和框架条件(个人框架和群体框架)下的普遍合作、弱狭隘合作和强狭隘合作。研究结果表明,社会身份复杂性与普遍合作正相关,而与强偏狭合作负相关。社会身份复杂度高的个体表现出更高水平的普遍合作和更低水平的强偏狭合作,尤其是在 CIG 中与 EOG 相比。此外,与群体框架相比,社会身份复杂度高的个体在个人框架中表现出更高的普遍合作性和更低的强偏狭合作性,而社会身份复杂度低的个体在个人框架中表现出更多的弱偏狭合作性。这些研究结果表明,较高的社会身份复杂性会促进群体间合作,不同的报酬结构和框架条件会对合作行为产生显著影响。
