Does gratitude enhance prosociality?: A meta-analytic review.
TL;DR: The present meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant, and moderate positive correlation between gratitude and prosociality (r = .374), and this association was significantly larger among studies that assessed reciprocal outcomes relative to nonreciprocal outcomes, and in particular among Studies that examined direct—compared with indirect—reciprocity.

The reputation of punishers
TL;DR: It is proposed that a variety of factors interact to explain why a punitive reputation is sometimes beneficial and sometimes harmful, and predicted that benefits are most likely to occur in forced play scenarios and in situations where punishment is the only means to convey an individual's cooperative intent and willingness to uphold fairness norms.

The Social Psychology of Groups.
Abstract: This landmark theory of interpersonal relations and group functioning argues that the starting point for understanding social behavior is the analysis of dyadic interdependence. Such an analysis portrays the ways in which the separate and joint actions of two persons affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The authors focus on patterns of interdependence, and on the assumption that these patterns play an important causal role in the processes, roles, and norms of relationships. This powerful theory has many applications in all the social sciences, including the study of social and moral norms; close-pair relationships; conflicts of interest and cognitive disputes; social orientations; the social evolution of economic prosperity and leadership in groups; and personal relationships.

TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that the altruistic punishment of defectors is a key motive for the explanation of cooperation, and that future study of the evolution of human cooperation should include a strong focus on explaining altruistic punished.
