The “I” in egalitarianism: Hadza hunter-gatherers averse to inequality primarily when personally unfavorable Abstract. Many economists contend that humans have strong, universal, other-regarding equality preferences with deep evolutionary roots. Indeed, many hunte

📢 New Paper 🚨

Hadza food-sharing is egalitarian, yet offers in giving games have never matched the equitable redistribution seen in real life.

In this study, we allowed people to give *or* take. Lifelike equitable distributions only appeared when people took from peers in surplus.

Abtract: Prosocial behavior is key to addressing global collective-action challenges. Two prominent tools to promote prosociality are incentives and the use of conditional preferences, yet existing evidence is mixed and largely based on WEIRD populations. We study how incentives and conditionality shape prosocial behavior across diverse cultural contexts, and how cultural characteristics moderate these effects. 15,600 participants from 42 countries completed an online experiment in which prosociality was measured as the donation of earned bonus points to international charities (e.g., UNICEF). In the incentive condition, donors received additional points worth half of the donated amount. In the conditionality treatment, participants could condition their donation on the share of other donors in their country. Preregistered analyses show that incentives increase prosocial behavior overall, but that their effectiveness varies across societies. Incentive effects are stronger in societies where the reputational costs of benefiting personally from prosocial acts are lower, that is, where incentivized donors are perceived as relatively more likable. Conditional giving also increases prosocial behavior, yet the effects are larger in societies characterized by a higher prevalence of conditional preferences and stronger generalized fairness concerns. Together, these findings highlight that the effectiveness of behavioral interventions depends systematically on cultural context, underscoring the importance of moving beyond WEIRD samples not only for advancing theory, but also for culturally tailored policy design.
