Bu yazıda, anonim diktatör oyununda[1] dinin toplum yanlısı davranışları artırıp artırmadığını belirlemek için tasarlanmış iki deney sunmaktayız. Nötr veya hiçbir kavramın olmadığı durumların aksine Tanrı kavramının dolaylı olarak dahil edildiği durumlarda denekler tanımadıkları yabancı kişilere karşı daha fazla cömert olmaktadır. Gözlemlenen bu etki en az seküler ahlâkî kurumlarla bağlantılı düşüncelerin ön plana çıktığı zamanki kadar güçlüdür. Kendi kendine kabul edilmiş dindarlık, toplum yanlısı davranışlarla bağlantılı görünmemiştir. Bu yazıda, dinî uyarıcıların cömertlik üzerinde ideomotor etkisi olduğuna veya doğaüstü gözlemcilerin varlığı fikrini harekete geçirdiğine odaklanarak bu etkinin altında yatan farklı olası mekanizmaları tartışacağız. Daha sonra ise dini eski büyük toplumların ortaya çıkmasını kolaylaştıran bir unsur olarak kabul eden fikirlerin sonuçlarını ele alacağız.


[1]     Oyun teorisi içerisinde yer alan Ültimatom Oyunu’nun türevlerinden birisidir. Diktatör oyunu deneyleri yapılırken deneklerden birisi “diktatör” olarak seçilerek bir miktar para ona verilir. Paranın isterse diktatör tarafından diğer oyuncu veya oyunculara verilebileceği söylenir. Paranın nasıl dağıtılacağına karar verme yetkisi diktatör olarak seçilen kişiye aittir (Çevirenin Notu).

We present two studies aimed at resolving experimentally whether religion increases prosocial behavior in the anonymous dictator game. Subjects allocate more money to anonymous strangers when God concepts were implicitly activated than when neutral or no concepts were activated. This effect was at least as large as that obtained when concepts associated with secular moral institutions were primed. A trait measure of self-reported religiosity did not seem to be associated with prosocial behavior. We discuss different possible mechanisms that may underlie this effect, focusing on the hypotheses that the religious prime had an ideomotor effect on generosity or that it activated a felt presence of supernatural watchers. We then discuss implications for theories positing religion as a facilitator of the emergence of early largescale societies of cooperators.
