Abstract

Resumen: En el presente artículo se hace una revisión desde las ciencias comportamentales sobre la cooperación y los dilemas sociales en el contexto de la heterogeneidad. En primera parte se conceptualiza este fenómeno y se plantean algunos elementos que dan cuenta de su influencia en el logro de la cooperación desde una perspectiva experimental. Aunque la evidencia sobre la existencia de un efecto positivo de las diferencias de los individuos o de las comunidades en la superación de los dilemas sociales es mixta, se reconocen los distintos equilibrios alcanzados por un grupo homogéneo y uno no homogéneo. Una vez enmarcado este contexto general de los dilemas sociales, la discusión se centra en la heterogeneidad presente en los usuarios y comunidades gestoras de los recursos naturales. Así, se analiza la literatura que da cuenta de la influencia de los elementos contextuales cuando usuarios y comunidades buscan superar dilemas colectivos, tales como el sobre uso y el agotamiento de los recursos. / Abstract : This paper is a revision of the contributions at the behavioral sciences about cooperation and social dilemmas in a heterogeneous framework. At the first part, heterogeneity is conceptualized, and I show some elements related to their influence over cooperation in an experimental perspective. Even though there is mixed evidence about the positive effect of individual or collective differences in the overcoming of social dilemmas, the literature identifies that diverse equilibriums are reached in the homogeneous and not homogeneous groups.After the presentation of the general context about social dilemmas, the document focuses the discussion on users and community’s heterogeneity in the use of natural resources. So, I analyze the literature related to the influence of contextual elements when people want to solve collective problems, as resources overuse and depletion. To recognize heterogeneity as a cooperation factor is relevant at public policy context because aid to focus the government intervention effectively to achieve the conservation of common-pool resources.
