  \n\nHow to stop the emergence of segregation in cooperative networks\n\nD
 avid Melamed\, The Ohio State University\n\nAbstract: Cooperation among an
 imals is a paradox because individuals are better off not cooperating with
  others. One prevalent explanation for the high levels of cooperation we o
 bserve among humans is the effect of the network structures in which we ar
 e embedded. Clustering structurally insulates cooperators\, enabling high 
 rates of cooperation within network communities or clusters. At the same t
 ime\, we know that networks are clustered by demographic attributes. Taken
  together\, the result is demographically similar clusters with high rates
  of cooperation. That is\, these two processes generate the emergence of c
 ooperative but segregated clusters. Here we present two studies on these p
 rocesses. Study 1 documents the results described above\, and study two sy
 stematically varies types of reputations. We find that we can eliminate th
 e emergence of segregation by altering the types of reputations that are u
 sed in the networks. I conclude with a discussion of reducing segregation 
 in polarized contexts.
