Eye images increase generosity, but not for long: the limited effect of a false cueAdam Sparks, Pat Barclay
Shefali Garg(11678)Smith Gupta(11720)Slide2
Background
Cooperation increases as anonymity decreases.Humans have neural circuitry that automatically activates in response to both real and pictured faces.
Human decision-making influenced not only by
conscious
,
reasoned evaluation
of explicit
knowledge,
but
also by
non-conscious, intuitive judgments based on implicit
cues.
How long does it last?
Does it always work?Slide3
Importance
Helps resolve discrepancies about whether and when eye images influence cooperationPeople habituate to an uninformative reputation cue
Informs efforts to use reputational cues to promote cooperation in real world or research settingsSlide4
Experiment: Is the Eyes Effect sensitive to exposure length?Slide5Slide6Slide7Slide8
Conclusions
The eyes effect is an involuntary, subconscious response.Significant effect of exposure length on giving.More effective if few real observers will be present.
No observed effect on autistic people.
Effect on giving to in-group, not out-group. Slide9
