In some non-Western societies cooperators rather than freeriders get punished

Evidence

See Henrich et al., 2006; Henrich and Henrich, 2007; Panchanathan and Boyd, 2004. D. Cohen (2001) also sees cultural variability as the result of multiple stable equilibriums. Herrmann et al. (2008) demonstrate, in cross-cultural game experiments, the existence in some cultures, such as Turkey, Greece, and Saudi Arabia, of what they call “antisocial punishment,” where cooperators, not freeriders, are punished! Antisocial punishment is rare in Western societies, and without cross-cultural comparisons, would have been missed. — Norenzayan, Ara, Big gods - how religion transformed…, 831

Categorization

• XREF: Directly relevant to the reader’s partner-choice integration: antisocial punishment is a social mechanism that operates within specific cultural equilibria, parallel to how the fumi-e trampling punishes those who remain loyal rather than those who defect.
• QUESTION: What explains antisocial punishment in Turkey, Greece, and Saudi Arabia but not the West? What social equilibrium maintains it?
