Description: In this study, our main goal is to enhance the understanding of how groups can effectively enforce social norms for the collective benefit, facilitating the emergence of both cooperative observed behaviours and shared cooperative normative judgments. To investigate this, we have designed a laboratory experiment where we capture the evolution of conditional normative judgments regarding different levels of PG provision by eliciting them both before and after a baseline treatment (BT) and a Pool Exclusion Treatment (PET). Both treatments employ repeated PG games; however, in the PET, group members can express social disapproval in a graduated way and enforce the exclusion of members from group activities based on cumulative group disapproval.
