            Does the cultural background influence the success with which genetically unrelated individuals cooperate in social dilemma situations? In this paper, we provide an answer by analysing the data of
            &lt;jats:xref ref-type="bibr"&gt;
              Herrmann
              &lt;jats:italic&gt;et al&lt;/jats:italic&gt;
              . (2008
              &lt;jats:italic&gt;a&lt;/jats:italic&gt;
              )
            &lt;/jats:xref&gt;
            , who studied cooperation and punishment in 16 subject pools from six different world cultures (as classified by
            &lt;jats:xref ref-type="bibr"&gt;Inglehart &amp;amp; Baker (2000)&lt;/jats:xref&gt;
            ). We use analysis of variance to disentangle the importance of cultural background relative to individual heterogeneity and group-level differences in cooperation. We find that culture has a substantial influence on the extent of cooperation, in addition to individual heterogeneity and group-level differences identified by previous research. The significance of this result is that cultural background has a substantial influence on cooperation in otherwise identical environments. This is particularly true in the presence of punishment opportunities.
