Trust among the Avatars: A Virtual World Experiment, with and without Textual and Visual Cues.
We invited "residents" of a virtual world who vary in real-world age and occupation to play a trust game with stakes comparable to "in-world" wages. In different treatments, the lab wall was adorned with an emotively suggestive photograph, a suggestive text was added to the instructions, or both a p...

Variation of results by treatment suggests that both photographic and textual cues influenced the level of trust but not that of trustworthiness. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
