演講者介紹：

Paul K. Piff is a social psychologist and research scientist in the Psychology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from Reed College and a Ph.D. in Psychology from UC Berkeley.

Dr. Piff studies the origins of human kindness and cooperation, and the psychology of wealth and poverty. What Dr. Piff has uncovered may surprise you. For instance, did you know that the kind of car you drive predicts how you drive?

Dr. Piff’s research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and his work has been published in leading academic journals, including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the Annual Review of Psychology. His research has received extensive coverage in media outlets such as the New York Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the PBS Newshour. In 2012, Dr. Piff’s research was featured by the Greater Good Science Center as providing one of the top 10 scientific insights about living a meaningful life.

以下為演講內容：

I want you to, for a moment, think about playing a game of Monopoly, except in this game, that combination of skill, talent and luck that help earn you success in games, as in life, has been rendered irrelevant, because this game's been rigged, and you've got the upper hand. You've got more money, more opportunities to move around the board, and more access to resources. And as you think about that experience, I want you to ask yourself, how might that experience of being a privileged player in a rigged game change the way that you think about yourself and regard that other player?

So we ran a study on the U.C. Berkeley campus to look at exactly that question. We brought in more than 100 pairs of strangers into the lab, and with the flip of a coin randomly assigned one of the two to be a rich player in a rigged game. They got two times as much money. When they passed Go, they collected twice the salary, and they got to roll both dice instead of one, so they got to move around the board a lot more. (Laughter) And over the course of 15 minutes, we watched through hidden cameras what happened. And what I want to do today, for the first time, is show you a little bit of what we saw. You're going to have to pardon the sound quality, in some cases, because again, these were hidden cameras. So we've provided subtitles.
