Human beings routinely help strangers at a cost to themselves. Sometimes the help offered is generous--offering more than the other needs. The proximate mechanisms supporting generosity are not well-understood, but several lines of research suggest a role for empathy. In this study, participants were infused with 40IU oxytocin (OT) or placebo and engaged in a blinded, one-shot decision on how to split a sum of money with a stranger. Those on OT were 80% more generous than those given a placebo. In a control condition, OT did not increase a unilateral monetary transfer task dissociating generosity from altruism. This indicates that generosity is associated with an emotional identification with another person. |
