Interesting topic! Social cooperation is a very broad piece of terminology, so it may be useful to consider studies involving specific demographics. This particular paper investigated external motivation as a causation of [|antisocial behaviour in childhood]. Rewards and punishments as a predictor of social cooperation in children appears to be a popular amongst research so consider that when choosing articles. Furthermore the psychological models in this paper may be valuable to consider when writing your own. My recommendation for the direction of this paper would be to research and explain the topic in relation to different populations, especially as the effect of rewards/punishments tends to vary between childhood, adulthood and the elderly. I think it would be interesting to highlight these differences/similarities throughout your research. For further research, this journal article may be of interest. The meta-analysis explores the effectiveness of costs and rewards on social cooperation, interestingly the study suggests a lack of significance between rewards and punishments as incentive to cooperate, this may contradict a number of other findings.

Hi mate, this is all really good stuff and a great start to the assessment. One thing I think you could delve into is the biology of rewards, punishments and social cooperation. Maybe explain what parts of the brain effect our desire for rewards and our avoidance of punishments. Even delving into an explanation of how people with damaged brains might not fully be able to cope in a typical situation as most people. In addition, you could look at what effects bodily chemicals may have on our perception of rewards, punishment and social cooperation. U3175664 (discuss • contribs) 13:36, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
