Abstract

In a cross-national behavioural experiment, we examined how providing information about negative externalities and making decisions observable influence prosocial behaviour. Across countries, we found that knowledge of negative externalities (as compared with opportunities for ignorance) robustly increased prosociality, and that guilt-prone individuals were more responsive to information about these negative consequences of their actions.

故意忽视不方便的信息会降低多元文化中的亲社会性

在一项跨国行为实验中，我们研究了提供关于负外部性的信息和做出可观察的决策如何影响亲社会行为。在各个国家中，我们发现，了解负面外部性（与无知的机会相比）大大增加了亲社会性，而且容易内疚的个人对有关其行为的这些负面后果的信息反应更灵敏。
