Toward an Understanding of Persistence of Kinship Norms with Dee p Historical Origins: Evidence using Multiple Revealed Preference Experimen ts
Abstract:
We empirical ly test the role of older, own-age, and younger peers in generating social pressure in historically high-intensity kin-based communities whose social traits have persisted. Using multiple revealed preference experiments involving over 12,000 US-based participants, we find that own-age locals a re the relevant social group generating social pressure for participants wi th high-intensity kin-based ancestry. Participants of historically high-int ensity kinship ancestry are more likely to keep information on their social preferences hidden from their own-age peers in their locality. Revenge-tak ing punishment, communal values, and public shame likely underlie the socia l pressure emerging from own-age locals in high-intensity kin-based ancestr y groups.
