A majority of people follow "costly" rules, even in settings in which they are anonymous, alone, and violations are harmless because of respect for rules and social expectations, even though rule violation is moderately contagious, finds Gächter et al., www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Why people follow rules
Image description
Figure 1: People tend to conform to an arbitrary rule against their self-interest, even a stylized, asocial, and unforced rule stated by the experimenter.
Image description
Figure 2 rules generate social expectations and conditional conformity with them, even in a minimalist setup.

Figure 3: Rule violations are contagious, but rule-following remains high.
