  • Think or Thwim & How Honest Are You? It Depends on the Art on the Wall

    From the page: "There is a box on the coffee counter in the Psychology Department at the University of Newcastle. On the wall above it, a note shows the prices for coffee and tea, and explains that payment should be left in the box. Thatâ€s been the system for years. However, for 10 weeks... more

    I'm sure it's because they felt like the eyes were watching them. Plus, the two highest eye payments were done with eyes that were wide open and looking straight on. Very interesting...

    I think they've got it all wrong.. it doesn't even list whether they earned enough money or more. I think flowers promote stealing. Eyes don't discourage it.. pff

    They should repeat this test, trying it with different forms of eyes to see the difference between male/female, whether the eyes are looking at you etc. When I look at the graph, it seems that the male eyes elicited more money, but then, the female eyes are looking in a sort of 'seductive' slant way wheras the male ones are looking forwards. It would be interesting to find out.

    It's kind of sad that people need to have eyes watching them to be honest and pay for the items they used. The weeks they used eye pictures above the pay box there was more money in the box than on the days they used flower pictures. God's eyes are watching us all the time. He knows if we are being honest or not. I try to remember that.
