摘要

许多社会挑战都是门槛困境,要求人们通过合作达到一个门槛,然后才能获得集体利益。然而,接收关于他人相对于自己的结果的反馈(相对反馈)会使群体成员的注意力集中在超越对方上,从而破坏合作。我们研究了相对反馈与个体反馈(只看到自己的结果)相比,对德国和印度儿童(6 至 10 岁,N = 240)合作的影响。通过一个以真实水源为资源的阈值公共物品游戏,我们发现,尽管反馈会产生影响,但在两种反馈条件下,大多数小组都能保持高水平的合作,直到游戏结束。对儿童交流(14,374 个可编码语句)的分析表明,在相对反馈条件下,儿童更多地提及社会比较,更努力地进行口头协调。阈值可以通过将注意力集中在一个共同目标上,减轻社会比较带来的最不利影响。

Children Sustain Cooperation in a Threshold Public-Goods Game Even When Seeing Others' Outcomes.

Many societal challenges are threshold dilemmas requiring people to cooperate to reach a threshold before group benefits can be reaped. Yet receiving feedback about others' outcomes relative to one's own (relative feedback) can undermine cooperation by focusing group members' attention on outperforming each other. We investigated the impact of relative feedback compared to individual feedback (only seeing one's own outcome) on cooperation in children from Germany and India (6- to 10-year-olds, N = 240). Using a threshold public-goods game with real water as a resource, we show that, although feedback had an effect, most groups sustained cooperation at high levels in both feedback conditions until the end of the game. Analyses of children's communication (14,374 codable utterances) revealed more references to social comparisons and more verbal efforts to coordinate in the relative-feedback condition. Thresholds can mitigate the most adverse effects of social comparisons by focusing attention on a common goal.
