Description It seems reasonable that sharing a functional goal enhances cooperation within the group that tries to achieve it. But does sharing an arbitrary way of doing things (no matter how goal demoted these sub-actions are) increase in-group prosociality? And how does it influence attitudes towards out-groups? I am interested in testing what aspects of collective ritualised actions may lead to increased prosociality/perceived entitativity, if any. In particular I focus on prolonged effects of collectively shared ritualised ways of achieving a goal (however arbitrary those actions are in respect to the desired goal) on in-group prosociality and out-group hostility.
