Strong reciprocity is not the only account that can explain costly punishment in the lab; it can also be explained by reputation-based accounts. We discuss these two accounts and suggest what kinds of evidence would support the two different alternatives. We conclude that the current evidence favors a reputation-based account of costly punishment.
强互惠并不是唯一能够解释实验室中昂贵惩罚的解释;声誉基础的解释也可以解释它。我们讨论了这两种解释,并提出了支持这两种不同选择的证据种类。我们的结论是,目前的证据支持昂贵惩罚的声誉基础解释。
