Such heteroge...

A.; Andrighetto, G.; Anum, A.; Arikan, G.Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation.

In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples of 22,863 students and non-students), we measured perceptions of the appropriateness of various responses to a violation of a cooperative norm and...
