人类密切关注他们行为的声誉后果。最近的实验表明，即使是非常微妙的线索，一个正在观察可以影响合作行为。表达我们对某些行为的道德性的看法是宣传我们合作意向的一个关键手段。在这里，我们研究了被观察的微妙线索如何影响道德判断。我们预测，接触到这些线索的参与者会通过表达对道德违规的更大反对来肯定他们对主流道德规范的认可。参与者阅读两个道德违规的简要说明，并对每个违规行为的道德可接受性进行评级。违规行为更强烈谴责的条件下，参与者暴露于监视线索（眼睛的图像之间插入的违规行为的描述和相关的评级量表）比在控制条件（其中插入的图像是花）。我们讨论的作用，公开声明发挥合作倾向的人际评价。
Humans pay close attention to the reputational consequences of their actions. Recent experiments indicate that even very subtle cues that one is being observed can affect cooperative behaviors. Expressing our opinions about the morality of certain acts is a key means of advertising our cooperative dispositions. Here, we investigated how subtle cues of being watched would affect moral judgments. We predicted that participants exposed to such cues would affirm their endorsement of prevailing moral norms by expressing greater disapproval of moral transgressions. Participants read brief accounts of two moral violations and rated the moral acceptability of each violation. Violations were more strongly condemned in a condition where participants were exposed to surveillance cues (an image of eyes interposed between the description of the violation and the associated rating scale) than in a control condition (in which the interposed image was of flowers). We discuss the role that public declarations play in the interpersonal evaluation of cooperative dispositions.
