Gender differences in cooperation with group membership
We study experimentally how males and females differ in the way same-gender peers observing their action affects their social behavior. In our experiment, people play a Prisoner’s Dilemma Game with a partisan audience watching the choice. Two groups of the same size (6-10 persons) participated in each session; these groups could be both all-male, both all-female, or one allmale and one all-fema...
متن کاملGender Differences in Cooperation: Experimental Evidence on High School Students
The emergence of cooperation among unrelated human subjects is a long-standing conundrum that has been amply studied both theoretically and experimentally. Within the question, a less explored issue relates to the gender dependence of cooperation, which can be traced back to Darwin, who stated that "women are less selfish but men are more competitive". Indeed, gender has been shown to be releva...
متن کاملGender differences in cooperation and competition: the male-warrior hypothesis.
Evolutionary scientists argue that human cooperation is the product of a long history of competition among rival groups. There are various reasons to believe that this logic applies particularly to men. In three experiments, using a step-level public-goods task, we found that men contributed more to their group if their group was competing with other groups than if there was no intergroup compe...
متن کاملAsynchronous Group Membership with Oracles
We present a model of distributed systems intended for the description of group membership services. The model incorporates a generalization of failure detectors 9], which we call oracles. Oracles provide information about processes that may be included into or excluded from the group. Based on this model, we provide a speciication of a group membership service in asynchronous systems augmented...

Stereotypes are often presumed to exaggerate group differences, but empirical evidence is mixed. We suggest exaggeration is moderated by the accessibility of specific stereotype content. In particular, because the most accessible stereotype contents are attributes perceived to differ between groups, those attributes are most likely to exaggerate actual group differences due to regression to the...
