Abstract
Drawing on our previous work on human trust networks, we provide further evidence of how group structure can foster group cohesion. But this work also raises doubts about two central tenets of the target paper: (1) the role assigned to cognitive abilities in group cohesion and stabilization; and (2) the emphasis on group size as the critical variable.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is a highly respected journal that employs an innovative approach called Open Peer Commentary. This format allows for the publication of noteworthy and contentious research from various fields including psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, and cognitive science. Each article is accompanied by 20-40 commentaries from experts across these disciplines, as well as a response from the author themselves. This unique setup creates a captivating forum for the exchange of ideas, critical analysis, and the integration of research within the behavioral and brain sciences, spanning topics from molecular neurobiology and artificial intelligence to the philosophy of the mind.
