The costs and challenges influencing the development of ethics and moral norms and their ultimate conception of pro-sociality vary dramatically according to situation. Nowhere is this more starkly illustrated than between economically developed and developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn analysing the relationship between agency and situation, the role of diversity, conflict, inefficiency and failure to cooperate prove to be essential components of the solution of social dilemmas on which Positive Social Identity depends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565408870638,"sku":"9781472480880","price":146.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781472480880.jpg?v=1720678775","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/positive-social-identity-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
