    Abstract

    Taking rational choice theory for granted, cooperation in social dilemmas may be seenas mysterious. In one-shot dilemmas where subjects unknown to one another interactand make their decisions anonymously, cooperation could even be regarded as lunacy.Several authors have challenged this view, though. Research has also identified variousfactors that imply why people cooperate or defect in social dilemmas and whatmotivations that might guide the decision in one way or the other. Here, a closer lookwill be taken at social norms as a reason for departure from rational choice, a factor thatrarely has been recognised in the social dilemma literature. Social norms imply that

    people should manifest a prescribed behaviour or not manifest a proscribed behaviour.Furthermore, social norms are often guiding behaviour in specific contexts, and manytimes they need to be activated. Such an activation process is often unconscious andonce a norm has been activated, people tend to keep following the norm that has been

    primed. We wish to add to the social dilemma literature by suggesting what kinds ofnorms that are likely to be activated under different conditions such as one-shot vs.iterated dilemmas, but also separate domains of social life.

  • 7/30/2019 Activation of Social Norms in Social Dilemmas

    3/26

    Taking rational choice theory for granted, cooperation in social dilemmas may be seenas mysterious. In one-shot dilemmas where subjects unknown to one another interactand make their decisions anonymously, cooperation could even be regarded as lunacy.Several authors have challenged this view on theoretical (e.g.,Dawes, 1980andDawes,1988) as well as on empirical grounds (Clark, 1998,Dawes and Thaler, 1988 and

    Frohlich et al., 2004), however. Research has also identified several factors that explainwhy people cooperate or defect in social dilemmas (e.g., Komorita & Parks, 1994) andwhat motives might guide the decision in one way or the other (Messick et al., 1983 andWilke, 1991). Here, a closer look will be taken on social norms as a reason for departurefrom rational choice. Although attempts to give social norms a more prominent place inthe explanation of cooperation are rare (Kerr, 1995) the significance of norms has beenrecognised in the social dilemma literature (Bicchieri, 1990,Bicchieri, 2002,Ostrom,1990 andVon Borgstede, 2002).

    Social norms evolve to regulate social life. In particular, they arise when individualactions cause negative side-effects for others (Coleman, 1990) and serve the function of

    restricting egoistic impulses in favour of collective outcomes (Biel, Eek, & Grling,1999). Social norms imply that (certain) people should manifest a prescribed behaviouror not manifest a proscribed behaviour. Violation of social norms is met by sanctions.Social norms may become internalised, in which case sanctions (in the form of guiltfeelings or pride) are administered by the individual him or herself. Internalised normsare called personal norms (Schwartz, 1977 and Schwartz and Howard, 1982). Asdefined by Cialdini and Trost (1998, p. 152): Social norms are rules and standards thatare understood by members of a group, and that guide and/or constrain social behaviourwithout the force of laws. Furthermore, social norms are often guiding behaviour inspecific contexts, and many times they need to be activated. Such an activation processis More often than not unconscious, it does not involve much thinking or even achoice on the part of subjects and once activated, it will show some inertia, in thesense that unless a major change in circumstances occurs, people will keep followingthe norm that has been primed (Bicchieri, 2002, p. 198). Bicchieris characterisation ofsocial norms has much in common with habitual behaviour. Just as habits are functionalfor the individual in reaching his or her goals, norms arise and operate in groups

    because they are functional for the group (Kerr, 1995). Habitual behaviour is activatedby relevant cues in the environment and the sequence of acts reveal itself with littleattention paid by the actor (Verplanken & Aarts, 1999). In social contexts, people searchtheir memory to find similar situations and expectations about proper behaviour(Bettenhausen and Murnighan, 1991 and Pillutla and Chen, 1999).

    Two types of norms will be addressed: general interaction norms and benevolencenorms (Kerr, 1995). The former kind of norms provides rules of interaction andexchange. They are based on shared beliefs about how people ought to behave in agiven situation. Rewards and sanctions are administered by other group members or bythe individual him or herself. While general interaction norms promote group memberswelfare indirectly, benevolence norms prescribe behaviour that benefits others directly.Benevolence norms are private and internalised prescriptive norms. These norms areactivated when individuals believe that important values are threatened (e.g.,Stern,Dietz, Abel, Guagnano, & Kalof, 1999).

  • 7/30/2019 Activation of Social Norms in Social Dilemmas

    4/26

    In this paper we will review social dilemma research on the importance of these kindsof norms, focusing on research of interest for environmental behaviour in particular.Most research on general interaction norms is experimental by nature, although studiesof local common-pool resource dilemmas add to the knowledge base. Most research on

    benevolence norms, on the other hand, is survey based. After a brief discussion of

    cooperation in one-shot social dilemmas and iterated games, we proceed with anexamination of literature on the influence of norms on cooperation and comment uponits relevance for behaviour in environmental dilemmas. We also offer some suggestionsabout which kinds of norms that are likely to be activated under different dilemmaconditions and how they might promote or obstruct environmentally friendly behaviour.

    2. Cooperation in one-shot social dilemmas and in

    iterated games

    2.1. One-shot social dilemmas

    In a one-shot public-good social dilemma, participants can choose between keepingresources to themselves or contribute to a common pool. Given that enough participantscontribute, the good is manifested and all are free to use it. In a resource dilemma, all

    participants can harvest from a common resource, but the group runs the risk ofexcessive harvesting, leading to depletion of the resource. Both kinds of dilemmasembrace a mixed motive. One can either pursue individual or collective interests.Furthermore, the decision situation is set up such that the individuals rational choice isto pursue his or her individual interest, defection, but if all or most participants defect,all are worse of than if they had cooperated and met the collective interest (Dawes,1980). The one-shot character of the dilemma implies that choices are madesimultaneously and privately.

    Over the years, experiments on one-shot social dilemmas show a cooperation ratesomewhere between 40% and 60%.1 For example, Kerr and Kaufman-Gilliland (1994)reported a cooperation rate of 57%. In his meta-analysis of over 100 social dilemmaexperiments, Sally (1995) reported an average rate of cooperation of 47% across a widevariety of conditions. Of course, cooperation is contingent upon many things. Forinstance, contribution rates may differ between discrete contributions, all or none, andcontinuous contributions, where people can contribute any amount they wish. Ifanything, contributions seem to be greater in the latter than the former condition (e.g.,

    Suleiman & Rapoport, 1992). Evidently, around 50% approach the experimental socialdilemma with an intention to cooperate. It should be recognised that in experimentaldilemmas participants are aware of the nature of the dilemma. Furthermore, the resourceis represented by points or some small sum of money to gain or lose. The resource is ofminor importance to those involved. Finally, the behaviour of others is unknown to the

    participants. Hence, the intention to cooperate can, loosely speaking, be attributed toindividual characteristics. Cooperators have been characterized as persons that have a

    pro-social value orientation (cf. Van Lange, Otten, de Bruin, & Joireman, 1997) and/orput a trust in others propensity to cooperate (Yamagishi, 1986). Of prime interest in thepresent paper is how norms may contribute to this base-rate cooperation around 50%,and under what conditions they may contribute to an increase or decrease of the

  • 7/30/2019 Activation of Social Norms in Social Dilemmas

    5/26

    Several authors have noticed the positive effect of communication on the cooperationrate (Dawes et al., 1977, Ostrom, 1998 and Sally, 1995). This effect is not related to justany kind of communication, but only communication that is relevant for the situation athand. In later studies (Dawes et al., 1988 and Orbell et al., 1988) the importance ofgroup identity was emphasised to account for the higher rate of cooperation. As people

    communicate, a group identity is activated that enhances the importance of groupwelfare over individual welfare. This explanation was challenged by Bicchieri (2002),who instead proposed that communication elicits social norms. The supporting evidencecomes from studies of iterated games.

    2.2. Iterated games

    Should group identity account for higher cooperation rates, then this effect would bevisible whenever group identity is made salient. This is certainly not the case (Bicchieri,2002). One piece of evidence put forth comes from a study of iterated games byKiesler,Sproull, and Waters (1996). Here, the subject communicated or did not communicate

    with another subject; either a human confederate or a computer. The subject and thepartner interacted in six rounds. In four of these, discussion took place. Discussionimplied that a proposal about cooperation was put forth. In the rounds of nocommunication, the cooperation rate dropped significantly compared to whendiscussion took place. Bicchieri argues that should discussion trigger a group identity,then commitments to cooperate should have been carried over to rounds with nocommunication. Since it did not, a norm of commitment and promise keeping is a morecredible explanation.

    Although it may take more than two persons to evoke a group identity, we do believe inBicchieris general conclusion that norms act as default social rules in social dilemmas.Indirect evidence in support of this conclusion comes from studies showing thatexpectations about others cooperation and own cooperation are strongly interrelated(Dawes et al., 1977 and Messick et al., 1983). More direct evidence comes from a

    prisoners dilemma study where participants experienced cooperation or competition inrepeated games (Bettenhausen & Murnighan, 1991). Feedback about the other players

    behaviour, a confederate, contributed to the establishment of a norm for properbehaviour. In the next round of games, participants were paired with a new member;confederates excluded. Participants applied the norm when interacting with a new

    participant, and also expected others to do the same. Hence, in new and homogenousgroups those who cooperated in the first round continued to do so, while those who

    defected stayed defectors. In heterogeneous groups, when the established norm waschallenged, cooperation fell in between the two homogenous groups.

    3. General interaction norms

    3.1. Norms elicited by the behaviour of others

    Based on work by James March and on Messicks (1999) AIR hypothesis, anappropriateness framework to decisions in social dilemmas was recently advanced(Weber, Kopelman, & Messick, 2004). This framework identifies three factors of

    significance for cooperation: classification of the situation, the identity of the decisionmaker, and identification of rules and heuristics that may guide behavioural choice.

  • 7/30/2019 Activation of Social Norms in Social Dilemmas

    6/26

    Among these three factors, classification of the situation is the principal point. Is this adilemma situation or not? In terms of norm activation, the appropriateness frameworkhas much in common with how Bicchieri frames the dilemma situation. In any situation,an individual will search for cues to interpret the situation. This is often done as aninstance of a well-known schema, mentally stored. Once a situation is categorized as

    fitting a particular schema, behavioural norms and role expectations will be elicited (seealso Bettenhausen & Murnighan, 1991). The question is then: which cues will elicitwhich schemas?

    Since behaviour often takes place in a social context, the behaviour of others is likely toinfluence which behavioural decision an individual takes. If people are kind to you, youare likely to respond with kindness. A favour is often reciprocated. Part of the reasonmay be that by observing the behaviour of others social rules are inferred.

    In contrast to a one-shot dilemma where people act once and simultaneously, socialinteraction reflects that behaviour unfolds over time. Without invoking a norm

    explanation, the difference between simultaneous and real-time contributions wasinvestigated in a public-good dilemma (Goren, Rapoport, & Kurzban, 2004). Underreal-time conditions, participants are informed about the decisions of other participantsas they make the decision (i.e., real time) rather than just the aggregate result after all

    participants have made their decision, as is usually the case in laboratory research. Onemajor finding was considerably higher levels of contribution under real-time thansimultaneous contributions. Since the former procedure more closely mirrors real-lifecontributions to voluntary public goods, earlier studies using simultaneous contributionscould have overestimated free-riding tendencies. We suggest that the difference

    between real-time and simultaneous contributions conditions could be the result of thenorm of reciprocity being made more salient under real-time conditions. Seeing otherscontribute would require one to cooperate in kind. Before we turn to the norm ofreciprocity, the consistency norm and norms about fairness will be briefly discussed.

    Above, the importance of communication for cooperation was spelled out. It has beensuggested that communication in groups elicit a commitment norm (Kerr, 1995). Once

    people have committed themselves to a course of action, they are expected and likely toact consistently (Cialdini, 2001). The importance of this principle is evident in socialdilemma research. A study by Orbell et al. (1988) found a strong relationship betweencommitment and cooperation rates. To the extent that group members in the discussiongroups promised to cooperate, the actual proportion cooperating was high. Similarly,

    did they promise to defect they also defected. Keep in mind that promises were public,while the actual choice was made anonymously.

    As proposed by Kerr (1995), to free-ride in a social dilemma is to violate the norm ofequity. In order to receive something from a public good, one should contribute withsome kind of input. Furthermore, if group members experience that inequity exists in aresource dilemma, those that are treated wrongly are prepared to take action (Allison &Messick, 1990). In line with a welfare state ideology, studies also show that to theextent that citizens perceive that resources for social welfare are distributed in a fairmanner they are also willing to contribute the resource (Biel et al., 1999andEek andBiel, 2003). In addition, people who are better off contribute more than people with

    smaller endowments. Taken together, norms for distributive justice seem to have adouble entrance. Once a decision situation is recognised as a social dilemma, norms
