Fishers see other breaking conservation rules and then proceed to break the rules themselves. (IMAGE)
Caption
Here, an individual fisher (A) has their imitation response triggered (motor processes) as two fishers move past them and a sign indicating a Marine Protected Area (MPA) where fishing is not allowed (fishing is prohibited in the area on the right-hand side of the broken line, and the curved red arrow indicates the movement of the two fishers moving inside the MPA to start fishing). (B) Their gaze is drawn to two fishers acting in non-compliance by harvesting inside the boundaries of the MPA (perceptual and attentional processes – the observing fisher’s field of view is shown in the red shaded area). (C) The fisher evaluates a specific situation of non-compliance where their attitude towards engagement changes (evaluative process), and in (D) fishers are seen breaking a rule and the rule-breaking behavior is more readily attributed to the rule breakers wider representative group (i.e., all local fishers) than when fishers are seen complying with the rule (asymmetrical learning rates) – shown here as red sinuous lines – the more a behavior is readily attributed to all group members the thicker the line is.
