Effects of eye images on everyday cooperative behavior: a field experiment (2011, unknown): “Variations on this result have since been produced by Burnham and Hare (2007), who found a similar effect in a Public Goods Game using a robot with human-like eyes facing the participant, by Rigdon, Ishii, Watabe, and Kitayama (2009), who showed that a face-like arrangement of three dots sufficed…”
Eye Images Increase Charitable Donations: Evidence From an Opportunistic Field Experiment in a Supermarket (2012, background): “A number of studies have replicated and extended Haley and Fessler’s results using related laboratory paradigms (Burnham & Hare 2007; Rigdon et al. 2009; Bourrat et al. 2011; Keller & Pfattheicher 2011; Oda et al. 2011), although see also Fehr & Schneider (2010) and Carbon & Hesslinger (2011).”
The watching eyes effect in the Dictator Game: it's not how much you give, it's being seen to give something (2013, methodology): “…have been a number of successful replication studies using the DG or close variants of it (Keller & Pfattheicher, 2011; Oda, Niwa, Honma, & Hiraishi, 2011; Rigdon, Ishii, Watabe, & Kitayama, 2009), or showing similar effects using different games (Burnham & Hare, 2007 using the Public Goods Game).”
The presence of others, prosocial traits, Machiavellianism: A personality × situation approach (2010, methodology): “The importance of the eye-detector mechanism was also shown by an experiment in which an image of a robot was presented on the computer screen: The robot’s eyes (but not its other parts) resembled those of a human (Burnham & Hare, 2007).”
Strategies for cooperation in biological markets, especially for humans (2013, background): “At other times this modulation could be unconscious, as when subtle cues of observation influence monetary donations and other forms of helpfulness (Bateson et al., 2006; Burnham & Hare, 2007; Ernest-Jones et al., 2011; Haley & Fessler, 2005).”
Altruism toward in-group members as a reputation mechanism (2010, background): “Burnham and Hare (2007) added further evidence to the effect of eyes on a computer screen by presenting a robot figure which appeared to be looking forward.”
