I’m from Boston originally. Very interesting to note that Boston didn’t score the highest in the non-punishment variant — it was high, but lower than Copenhagen — but scored the at the top with punishment added.
That squares with my experience of my Bostonians — reasonably friendly and pro-social but not as much so as say Scandinavia, but very much willing to get righteous if someone is defecting, probably moreso than Scandinavia.
But then, reasonably quick to forgive if someone did bad but gets with the program.
Or maybe I’m flattering my native city. But the results aren’t surprise compared to my intuition. (I wish I’d made a prediction about how Boston would come out before reading the results, but alas, missed opportunity there.)
The graphs don’t have confidence intervals but I think it’s likely that there’s no statistical significant difference between Boston and Copenhagen in that data.
