在125个国家（N = 101,123个人）进行的激励两方合作实验中，该课题组使用具有全球代表性的数据来评估人类合作的程度，并研究其个体决定因素。在全球范围内，大约三分之二的人选择合作。合作的决定在很大程度上受到合作信念、禁令规范和偏好的影响。这些决定因素的影响大小因国家而异，这种变化与历史和文化标志有系统的联系。在全球范围内，人们低估了他人的合作意愿——人类比他们认为的更愿意合作。简单的信息处理减少了误解，并自然而然地增加了合作。
据悉，人类合作是解决集体挑战的基础，但对其个别驱动因素的认识仍不够充分。

Abstract: Human cooperation is fundamental to solving collective challenges, yet its individual drivers remain insufficiently understood. Using globally representative data from an incentivized two-player cooperation experiment conducted in 125 countries (N = 101,123 individuals), we assess the extent of human cooperation and study its individual determinants. Across the globe, about two-thirds of people choose to cooperate. The decision to cooperate is significantly shaped by cooperation beliefs, injunctive norms, and preferences. Effect sizes of these determinants vary across countries, a variation that is systematically associated with historical and cultural markers. Globally, people underestimate others’ willingness to cooperate—humans are more cooperative than they believe. A simple information treatment reduces misperceptions and causally increases cooperation.
