| Tiivistelmä: | Previous indirect evidence suggests that impulses towards pro-social behaviour are diminished when an external authority is responsible for an outcome. The responsibility-alleviation effect states that a shift of responsibility to an external authority dampens internal impulses towards honesty, loyalty, or generosity. In a gift-exchange experiment, it is found that subjects respond with more generosity when wages are determined by a random process than when assigned by a third party, indicating that even a slight shift in perceived responsibility for the final pay-offs can change behaviour. Responsibility-alleviation can be a factor in economic environments featuring substantial personal interaction. |
