TL;DR: A meta-study of repeated prisoner's dilemma experiments run at numerous universities suggests that students cooperate 5-8% more often for every 100-point increase in the school's average SAT score.
Abstract: Are more intelligent groups better at cooperating? A meta-study of repeated prisoner's dilemma experiments run at numerous universities suggests that students cooperate 5–8% more often for every 100-point increase in the school's average SAT score. This result survives a variety of robustness tests. Axelrod [Axelrod, R., 1984. The Evolution of Cooperation. Basic Books, New York] recommends that the way to create cooperation is to encourage players to be patient and perceptive; experimental evidence suggests that more intelligent groups implicitly follow this advice.

TL;DR: This article discussed the dilemmas I faced as a member of the group I was studying Chicana working mothers particularly regarding the terms of ethnic identification, and how my status as a simultaneous cultural insider and Chicana feminist researcher reflected a conundrum.
Abstract: What happens when the ethnographic "others" are from the same society, and are members of the same race or ethnicity, gender, and class background as the ethnographer? This paper articulates the dilemmas I faced as a member of the group I was studying Chicana working mothers particularly regarding the terms of ethnic identification. My purpose here is twofold: I will discuss how my status as a simultaneous cultural "insider" and Chicana feminist researcher reflected a conundrum. My sense of Chicana feminist identity, constructed through participation in the Chicano movement, ironically hindered my understanding of the nuances of the ethnic identity of the women I studied and regarded as historical actors. My status as insider also posed the dilemma of how to present the ethnographic "other" to my peers, Chicano/Latino scholars who privileged the term Chicano. (As a product of the movement, I will use Chicano and Mexican American interchangeably here, except when referring to Mexican Americans from New Mexico.) These dilemmas eventually provided insight into the power relations involved when women of Mexican origin identify themselves ethnically. My discussion will contextualize the meaning of ethnic identity for working-class Mexican American women workers in two field research settings with different historical contexts.
