Effects of eye images on everyday cooperative behavior: a field experiment (2011, background): “In accordance with this prediction, there have been many demonstrations that the physical presence of other people in the room, or other non-verbal cues of proximity or visibility, produces more cooperative behaviour (Andreoni & Petrie, 2004; Burnham, 2003; Dawes, McTavish, & Shaklee, 1977; Hoffman,”
Altruism toward in-group members as a reputation mechanism (2010, background): “Burnham (2003) demonstrated that presenting a picture of the recipient to the dictator in a dictator game prompted the dictator to allocate more money to the recipient.”
Poverty in dictator games: Awakening solidarity (2003, background): “For example, in Burham [4], where dictators viewed a picture of recipients, only 25% of subjects gave half the endowment! What is even more surprising is that 58% kept the full amount for themselves (see Table A.”

(2012, background): “, 2009b; Rockenbach and Milinski, 2006) (see Appendix A for a detailed discussion of this issue), or (ii) are better interpreted in the context of reciprocity and reputation, for example subjects’ extreme sensitivity to subtle cues suggesting that they are being watched (Burnham and Hare, 2007; Burn”
Ask and You Shall (Not) Receive: Close Friends Prioritize Relational Signaling over Recipient Preferences in Their Gift Choices (2016, background): “Research on giving anonymously finds that people give less generously (even when they have close relationships with recipients) under conditions in which they receive no attribution (Hoffman et al.1994; Burnham 2003).”
