Joint attention modulates intergroup altruism via incidental learning of trust.

Joint attention (i.e. looking where others look) can implicitly elicit positive social behaviour: people trust more and are more altruistic toward individuals who are helpful in cueing relevant object…

Working with an Online Artificial Partner Enhances Implicit and Reduces Explicit Sense of Agency.

A "sense of agency" is the feeling that one is the cause of events in the world. The presence of others has been shown to create a diffusion of responsibility and thus reduce individuals' explicit rat…
