Abstract

ABSTRACT Third-party punishment is a form of peer-to-peer sanctioning that is influenced by descriptive norms. The present study aims to investigate how aggregate peer punishment and the presence of a free rider who never punishes influences the formation of third-party punishment norms. Participants were exposed to social feedback indicating either low, high, or high & free rider peer punishment. Over time, participants conformed to average peer punishment leading to the emergence and persistence of different sanctioning norms in each group. The presence of one free rider significantly reduced the average punishment and increased the frequency of free riding behavior. These findings highlight the critical role of descriptive norms and suggest the presence of a ‘bad apple’ effect in third-party punishment.

创建实验室制裁规范:描述性规范对第三方惩罚的影响

第三方惩罚是一种受描述性规范影响的点对点制裁形式。本研究旨在探讨同伴惩罚总量和搭便车者的存在如何影响第三方惩罚规范的形成。参与者暴露在社会反馈中，这些反馈表明了低、高或高的同伴惩罚。随着时间的推移，参与者服从平均同伴惩罚，导致每组中出现并持续存在不同的制裁规范。一个搭便车者的存在显著降低了平均惩罚，增加了搭便车行为的频率。这些发现强调了描述性规范的关键作用，并表明在第三方惩罚中存在“坏苹果”效应。
