Abstract
We study the effects of experimental manipulation of decision mode
(rational “brain” vs. affective “heart”) and individual difference in
processing styles (intuition vs. deliberation) on prosocial behavior. In a
survey experiment with a diverse sample of the Swedish population
(n = 1,828), we elicited the individuals’
processing style and we experimentally manipulated reliance on affect or
reason, regardless of subjects’ preferred mode. Prosocial behavior was
measured across a series of commonly used and incentivized games (prisoner’s
dilemma game, public goods game, trust game, dictator game). Our results
show that prosocial behavior increased for the affective (“heart”) decision
mode. Further, individual differences in processing style did not predict
prosocial behavior and did not interact with the experimental
manipulation.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
