A genetic contribution to cooperation: dopamine-relevant genes are associated with social facilitation.

Social neuroscience - 1 Jan 2011

Walter Nora T, Markett Sebastian A, Montag Christian, Reuter Martin

Abstract excerpt

Social loafing and social facilitation are stable behavioral effects that describe increased or decreased motivation, as well as effort and cooperation in teamwork as opposed to individual working situations. Recent twin studies demonstrate the heritability of cooperative behavior. Brain imaging studies have shown that reciprocity, cooperativeness, and social rewards activate reward processing areas with strong...
