Abstract

In the course of human evolution, watching eyes have had an important influence on individual cooperative behavior. However, researchers have not explored how the valence of watching eyes affects cooperative behavior. Therefore, this study includes three studies to investigate the effect of watching eyes with different valences on cooperative behavior. The results showed that positive watching eyes (vs. negative watching eyes) induced positive emotions (PA) in the participants and thus increased their tendency to cooperate (Studies 1-2). The role of the decision maker (making decisions for oneself vs. making decisions on behalf of others) moderates the effect of watching eyes on cooperative behavior through emotion (Study 3). In conclusion, the valence of watching eyes significantly affects cooperation. This study not only further enriches research on environmental stimulation and cooperation but also provides inspiration and a reference for solving problems of cooperation in social dilemmas.

受到消极暗示，人们会更不合作吗?注视眼神对合作行为的影响。

在人类进化过程中，眼睛对个体的合作行为有着重要的影响。然而，研究人员还没有探索眼神的效价如何影响合作行为。因此，本研究包括三个研究来探讨不同效价的注视眼神对合作行为的影响。结果表明，积极注视的眼睛(与消极注视的眼睛相比)诱发了参与者的积极情绪，从而增加了他们的合作倾向(研究1-2)。决策者的角色(为自己做决定vs.替他人做决定)通过情绪调节注视眼神对合作行为的影响(研究3)。综上所述，注视眼神的效价显著影响合作行为。本研究不仅进一步丰富了环境刺激与合作的研究内容，也为解决社会困境下的合作问题提供了启发和借鉴。
