Abstract
Parochial altruism, defined as behaving aggressively against the out-group and cooperatively towards the in-group, is a commonly observed phenomenon. Previous experimental studies pointed out that some potential mechanisms triggering parochial altruism, including cooperation during cultural group formation, resources differential among individual, etc. This paper aims at touching on the topic by injecting an anticipating interaction between the in-group member and the out-group member.
