这项研究评估了自下而上的视觉线索--被观察的线索--来自拟人化的（脸一样的）日常物品对宗教人士亲社会行为的影响。由于宗教人士比不太信教的人更有可能在日常物品中感知到面孔，而且对类似面孔的物体的感知会促进亲社会性，因此预计宗教人士在感知类似面孔的物体时会变得更加亲社会。为了验证这一假设，该研究重复了过去在日本样本中的一项发现，即宗教人士倾向于在日常物品中感知人脸。接下来，结果显示，当一个类似人脸的物体被展示在慈善呼吁中时，宗教人士（与宗教信仰较低的人相比）捐赠的决定会增加。在非面部物体上未观察到这种效应。目前的研究表明，与周围环境的互动在激励宗教人士的亲社会行为中起着重要作用。
This study assessed the effect of bottom‐up visual cues—the cues of being watched—from anthropomorphized (face‐like) everyday objects on religious people's prosocial behavior. As religious people are more likely than less‐religious people to perceive faces in everyday objects and as perception of face‐like objects promotes prosociality, it was expected that religious people would become more prosocial when they perceived face‐like objects. To test the hypothesis, the study replicated a past finding in a Japanese sample in which religious people tended to perceive a face in everyday objects. Next, results showed that the decision to donate in religious people (compared to less‐religious people) was increased when a face‐like object was displayed with charitable appeals. This effect was not observed with a non‐face‐like object. The current study indicates that interaction with the surrounding environment plays an important role in motivating prosocial behavior among religious people.
