Summary: This study formalizes and combines feminist theoretical approaches into a game-theoretic model to understand women's collective action to change gendered social norms. It finds that social norms create a social dilemma where promoting altruism among women can overcome the dilemma. Other methods, such as discouraging women from tolerating domestic violence or imposing additional punishment on men, may not be effective and could even backfire.

Summary: Individuals' pro-environmental behaviors are influenced by what they consider important in life, namely their personal values. However, the relationship between values and actions is often weak, raising the question of when values are related to environmental behaviors. This study examines whether and how the impact of personal values on behavior varies across localized interpersonal contexts. The findings suggest that the influence of altruistic value prioritization on environmental behavior is more pronounced in housing estates with low levels of social norms, interpersonal trust, or neighbor ties. In contrast, individuals in strong interpersonal influences show high levels of environmental behavior regardless of altruistic value prioritization. These results highlight the importance of interpersonal contexts in understanding the value-behavior link.

Summary: This study explores the reasons for the varying impacts of climate change on different countries and the heterogeneities in mitigating climate change. The research found that heterogeneous assemblies are less able to collectively provide public goods, and suggests that emphasizing reciprocity may improve collective action. Additionally, the study introduces a methodological innovation of using machine learning to classify players based on their conditional contribution behavior.

Summary: Experimental games simulate situations where future outcomes depend on individual and group choices, revealing neural and psychological mechanisms underlying cooperation. Recent developments focus on repeated interactions, partner control through sanctions, and selection of future partners, uncovering neurobiological underpinnings of key factors in cooperation such as social preferences, cooperative beliefs, signaling, reputations, and reciprocity. Emerging trends integrate psychology, economics, and neuroscience to explore group dynamics, intergroup conflicts, cross-cultural differences in cooperation, and computational modeling of social preferences.

Summary: This article applies a large-scale collective action framework to analyze the spread of the COVID-19 virus, comparing it with other large-scale collective action problems to explain the differences in policy responses. Trust, both horizontally among people and vertically between people and governments, plays a key role in determining the effectiveness of government actions in response to the pandemic.

Summary: Research demonstrates the important role of social capital in understanding voluntary collective action, especially in post-disaster reconstruction. Bonding social capital can promote collective action by fostering mutual trust, and both bonding and bridging/linking social capital have direct effects on collective action following disasters.

Summary: This study analysed cross-country data and found that social norms, moral values, trust, stress, and demographic factors are associated with compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. The harm/care dimension of moral foundations and trust are critical to the development of programs and policies aimed at increasing compliance with measures to reduce the spread of disease.

Summary: The prevalence of unregulated non-prescription use of antibiotics in Sweden is investigated in this study. The results show that 2.3% of the respondents have acquired antibiotics in ways other than from a Swedish physician, and 4.3% reported that they are likely to do so in the future. The main reasons for non-prescription acquisition are physicians' refusal to prescribe antibiotics and travel abroad. The trust in health care is found to be strongly associated with non-prescription acquisition of antibiotics and the intention to engage in this practice in the future.

Summary: This study shows that injecting a few altruists into a population can trigger positive reciprocity among conditional cooperators, leading to stable cooperation in a moderately noisy environment. It suggests that self-governance is possible while avoiding the detrimental effects of punishment, and highlights the importance of trust in harnessing the conditional nature of individuals in society.

Summary: How does residing near surveillance infrastructure affect support for cooperative and confrontational collective actions? This study examines the impact of surveillance on support for different types of actions in West Bank and Jerusalem. The findings show that surveillance decreases support for cooperative actions but does not affect support for confrontational actions, and this effect is due to weakened inclusive norms within the community. These findings highlight the importance of considering structural factors in understanding collective action.

Summary: Fisheries in Kenya are undergoing social-ecological changes that impact their governance through co-management. Leadership, gear technology, market dynamics, trust, cultural dependencies, and past experiences play key roles in explaining different outcomes of fisheries co-management. Early events such as conflicts may undermine collective action and sustainable resource use in fisheries co-management.

Summary: Cooperatives, as collective organizations, generate internal social capital and benefit from external social capital to develop. However, lack of transparency and reciprocal relationships in social capital components may lead to failure.

Summary: Rangeland climate services have the potential to facilitate sustainable decisions, but their design often overlooks factors such as risk preferences, different ways of knowing, social relations, and institutional arrangements that can affect user engagement. Including end-users in the development process could improve the quality of these services.

Summary: This study, grounded in socio-cultural theory, presents a continuum of coupled human-ecosystems conceptions, ranging from exclusion to inclusion. The tool developed in this study is useful for assessing how people perceive human-environment relationships and studying shifts in ecological literacy. Without a conception of ecosystems that includes humans, future NRM professionals may select policies and practices that result in ineffective or destructive management.
