The Honesty Experiment - A store with an honesty policy (leave the money for what you took, no cashier) wanted to know if people would be more responsible not if they were actually watched, but if they thought they were being watched. So each week they posted a picture above the register. One week it was a photo of eyes, the next week a photo of flowers, then eyes again, and so on, and they charted the money they made each week. The results? People pay almost 3 times as much when there is a photo of eyes looking at them! - via Neatorama — xstevemurphy
I learned about this back in college, but it’s cool to see a graph showing the images and the amount paid. I like how the direct looks drive up the price people pay. I should try that with Halloween candy.
