Some researchers have argued that one of their roles is to promote cooperation, but models designed to address this issue have yielded contradictory results. Here we present an experimental study of the effect of visible markers on the emergence of social norms where human subjects play a binary coordination game. Our results do not show different, marker-dependent behaviors. Instead, in practically all sessions participants achieved a global equilibrium disregarding the markers. Our findings suggest that simple markers may have a limited role in promoting the emergence of group-dependent social norms and call for further research investigating the role of markers in more sophisticated social settings. 000118032 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI-FEDER/PGC2018-098186-B-I00 000118032 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000118032 590__ $$a4.6$$b2022 000118032 592__ $$a0.973$$b2022 000118032 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b22 / 73 = 0.301$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT1 000118032 593__ $$aMultidisciplinary$$c2022$$dQ1 000118032 594__ $$a7.5$$b2022 000118032 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000118032 700__ $$aBaronchelli, A. 000118032 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-1874-2881$$aSánchez, A. 000118032 773__ $$g12 (2022), 5068 [12 pp.]$$pSci. rep.
