Increasing altruistic and cooperative behaviour with simple moral nudges

TL;DR: A class of simple moral nudges that have a great positive impact on pro-sociality are presented and it is demonstrated that asking subjects to self-report “what they think is the morally right thing to do” does not only increase pro- sociality in the choice immediately after, but also in subsequent choices, and even when the social context changes.

Who cooperates in repeated games: The role of altruism, inequity aversion, and demographics

TL;DR: This paper explored the extent to which altruism, as measured by giving in a dictator game (DG), accounts for play in a noisy version of the repeated prisoner's dilemma and found that DG giving is correlated with cooperation in the repeated game when no cooperative equilibria exist, but not when cooperation is an equilibrium.

Parochial cooperation in humans: forms and functions of self-sacrifice in intergroup conflict

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that humans evolved a capacity for parochial cooperation, which entails in-group love: the tendency to cooperate with and extend trust toward those others who are similar, familiar rather than unfamiliar, and belong to one's own group.

Boosting cooperation by involving extortion in spatial prisoner's dilemma games.
