Table 1 How observers with four social norms, \({\text{{SJ}}}\), \({\text{{SS}}}\), \({\text{{SH}}}\), and \({\text{{SC}}}\), assign a reputation to a donor when an error in assessment does not occur. Rows indicate whether the donor takes cooperation (C) or defection (D) with a recipient. Columns indicate whether the recipient’s reputation is good (G) or bad (B) in the eyes of the observer.
