Synergy in prosocial behavior of economic agents sets personal interests alone with social interests. This paper reports an empirical study aiming to examine the relationship between religiosity and cooperation to create group interest. So, two versions of public good game (PGG) experiment including "motivated" and "hypothetical" tests were performed in five steps on a random sample of Mazandaran University students. Religiosity and personality dimensions were measured by standard questionnaires after the game. The backward regression results show that, in the first steps of the two games, greater public good contributions were presented by individuals with high scores on a scale of morality and religious devotion. The relationship between religiosity and cooperation in later steps is maintained in the hypothetical game, but it disappears in the motivated game. The findings indicate that financial incentives lead to corrective actions to maintain cooperation in group, but the removal of monetary incentives exasperated the response of conditional cooperators to free-riders’ behavior. Finally, the level of cooperation is significantly reduced. Player's behavior shows that their cooperation is dependent on the average level of group contributions. They tend to keep their participation near group cooperation. The policy implication of such behavior is taking care to avoid free riding behavior.

Religion as system of values and norms can have a profound impact on human social life. Regarding that religious beliefs and attitudes are encouraging of social cooperation and collaboration; religious peoples’ behaviors are expected to be more social. Since religion as set of values، beliefs and norms has special program and education system، it is likely to support community participation. This research was focused on this question that whether experimental observations verify the positive impact of religion on behavior. It has implemented a repetitive 5 stage Public Good Game with measuring religiosity of players. It was to examine the relationship between religion and cooperation behavior. The backward regression results show that religious people with higher scores of morality have more participation in the first stage of production of public goods. Changes in the Index of morality could explain 25% of the variation in the cooperative decision makings after the controlling of personality and demographic variables. High scores on neurosis index was an effective element for reducing participation in the next steps of the game. Individual positive reactions to community participation and the increase in the explanatory power of reactive variables at each step of the game and neutralizing the religious، psychological، and the demographic variables are other conclusions of this investigation. These results support the impact of the subtitle indices of religiosity on economic behavior.
