Neural basis of extraordinary empathy and altruistic motivation (2010, background): “, 2006), and may serve as a precursor (Preston and de Waal, 2002) to ingroup favoritism in prosocial behavior such as altruism (Bernhard et al., 2006).”
Cooperation and Discrimination within and Across Language Borders: Evidence from Children in a Bilingual City (2016, neutral): “…in labor, housing, credit or consumer markets to political conflict or even social unrest (see, e.g., Arrow, 1998; Darity and Mason, 1998; Ladd, 1998; Yinger, 1998; Fershtman and Gneezy, 2000; Bernhard et al., 2006; Goette et al., 2006; Charness et al., 2007; Chen and Li, 2009; Meier et al., 2014).”
Cross-Racial Envy and Underinvestment in South Africa (2006, background): “a preference for favouring one’s own group, which has been established to exist in other more 520 homogeneous societies ( Bernhard et al., 2006 ), will be hard to establish.”
The Development of Egalitarianism, Altruism, Spite and Parochialism in Childhood and Adolescence (2013, neutral): “The development of parochialism – implying in-group favoritism and out-group hostility – has received little attention so far (see Bernhard et al., 2006; Goette et al., 2006, for studies with adults).”
The Effect of Social Category on Third Party Punishment (2007, background): “Likewise, given that costs suffered by an in-group member can affect the strength of one’s social network, a perpetrator victimizing an in-group member is hypothesized to incite greater punishment compared to when the victim is an out-group member (e.g., see Bernhard et al., 2006).”
Social ties and coordination on negative reciprocity: The role of affect (2008, background): “Yamagishi and Kiyonari, 2000) and real social groups ( Bernhard et al., 2006; Goette et al., 2006), there is practically no experimental work on the economic significance of social ties—in the sense of people knowing each other from outside the lab (an exception is Abbink et al., 2006).”
On the Economics and Biology of Trust (2009, background): “It is, for example, well known that people display more altruism towards ingroup members (Yamagishi, Jin, and Miller 1998), and they are less likely to violate social norms if the victim of a norm violation is an ingroup member (Bernhard, Fischbacher, and Fehr 2006; Goette, Huffman, and Meier 2006).”
“In-Group Love” and “Out-Group Hate” in Repeated Interaction Between Groups (2012, background): “But it can also result from out-group hate—an aggressive motivation to hurt the out-group, or a competitive motivation to increase the in-group’s advantage over the out-group (Brewer, 1999; cf. Arrow, 2007; Bernhard et al., 2006).”
Intergroup bias in third-party punishment stems from both ingroup favoritism and outgroup discrimination (2014, background): “Regarding a possible explanation by group selection, it could be helpful to take the matter of group reputation into account (Bernhard et al., 2006).”
Behavior in Group Contests: A Review of Experimental Research (2015, positive): “Finally, the third explanation takes its roots in parochial altruism (Bernhard et al., 2006; Choi and Bowles, 2007) and group identity (Tajfel and Turner, 1979), suggesting that individuals simultaneously display altruism towards in-group members along with hostility towards out-group individuals.”
