Ethnic markers and the emergence of group-specific norms: an experiment 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Visible markers are an important factor in social interactions. 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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI-FEDER/PGC2018-098186-B-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.6 2022 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 22 / 73 = 0.301 2022 Q2 T1 0.973 2022 Multidisciplinary 2022 Q1 7.5 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Baronchelli, A.
