• False friends are worse than bitter enemies: “Altruistic” punishment of in-group members (2004, methodology): “1 is consistent with the finding of Fehr and Fischbacher (2004).”
• The Importance of Emotions for the Effectiveness of Social Punishment (2006, result): “This is in line with research that finds third party punishment to be less severe (Fehr and Fischbacher, 2004; Carpenter and Matthews, 2005).”
• The sociality of personal and collective nostalgia (2019, background): “Next, participants played the third-party punishment game (Fehr & Fischbacher, 2004).”
• Behavioral Norms: Variants and Their Identification (2014, background): “They are even willing to altruistically punish complete strangers they will never deal with themselves (Fehr & Fischbacher, 2004; Fehr et al., 2002), unless they come from societies in which interactions among strangers are rare (Henrich et al., 2010).”
• The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment (2008, positive): “…a link between affect and punishment motivation in both second- and third-party contexts, and are consistent with the hypothesis that third-party sanctions are fueled by negative emotions toward norm violators (Darley and Pittman, 2003; Fehr and Fischbacher, 2004a, 2004b; Seymour et al., 2007).”
• Normology: Integrating insights about social norms to understand cultural dynamics (2015, background): “Moral norms against selfish behaviors are enforced through retaliation by the affected and also punishment by third party observers (Fehr & Fischbacher, 2004).”
• Norm Enforcement in the City: A Natural Field Experiment (2012, methodology): “If this was the case, based on laboratory evidence (Fehr and Fischbacher, 2004), one would expect that observers of violations of the non-littering norm would be less bothered than observers of the violations of the escalators norm.”
• Moral emotions as determinants of third-party punishment: Anger, guilt, and the functions of altruistic sanctions (2009, background): “We investigated the impact of anger and guilt feelings in a third-party punishment paradigm (Fehr & Fischbacher, 2004).”
