TED 財富讓人變得更壞? (2) (英文演講稿)
演講者:社會心理學家 - Paul Piff
Rich Player: How many 500s did you have?
Poor Player: Just one.
Rich Player: Are you serious.
Poor Player: Yeah
Rich Player: I have three. (Laughs) I don't know why they gave me so much.
Paul Piff: Okay, so it was quickly apparent to players that something was up. One person clearly has a lot more money than the other person, and yet, as the game unfolded, we saw very notable differences and dramatic differences begin to emerge between thewo players. The rich player started to move around the board louder, literally smacking the board with their piece as he went around. We were more likely to see signs of dominance and nonverbal signs, displays of power and celebration among the rich players.
We had a bowl of pretzels positioned off to the side. It's on the bottom right corner there. That allowed us to watch participants' consummatory behavior. So we're just tracking how many pretzels participants eat.
Rich Player: Are those pretzels a trick?
Poor Player: I don't know.
Okay, so no surprises, people are onto us. They wonder what that bowl of pretzels is doing there in the first place. One even asks, like you just saw, is that bowl of pretzels there as a trick? And yet, despite that, the power of the situation seems to inevitably dominate, and those rich players start to eat more pretzels.
Rich Player: I love pretzels.
(Laughter)
And as the game went on, one of the really interesting and dramatic patterns that we observed begin to emerge was that the rich players actually started to become ruder toward the other person, less and less sensitive to the plight of those poor, poor players, and more and more demonstrative of their material success, more likely to showcase how well they're doing.
Rich Player: I have money for everything.
Poor Player: How much is that?
Rich Player: You owe me 24 dollars. You're going to lose all your money soon. I'll buy it. I have so much money. I have so much money, it takes me forever.
Rich Player 2: I'm going to buy out this whole board.
Rich Player 3:You're going to run out of money soon. I'm pretty much untouchable at this point.
