change to simple actions such as leaving another individual with choice – known as social mindfulness.
It is not yet clear whether and how these complex and more simple forms of cooperation relate. Prior
work has found that countries with individuals who made more socially mindful choices were linked to
a higher country environmental performance – a proxy for complex cooperation. Here we replicated
this initial finding in 41 samples around the world, demonstrating the robustness of the association
between social mindfulness and environmental performance, and substantially built on it to show this
relationship extended to a wide range of complex cooperative indices, tied closely to many current
societal issues. We found that greater social mindfulness expressed by an individual was related to

living in countries with more social capital, more community participation and reduced prejudice
towards immigrants. Our findings speak to the symbiotic relationship between simple and more
complex forms of cooperation in societies.
