Money increase people's trust in you

According to the research of sociologists, the money increases trust among people and contribute to the establishment of cooperation.



According to one of the leaders of the experiments of Professor Chapman University (the city of Orange, USA) Gabriel Chambers: "We use the money to make the relationship between the participants in the trading process more helpful, but this theory can not explain all aspects of the behavior of sellers and consumers».

In his scientific research university staff organized economic game whose members could assist each other anonymous financial assistance. The researchers divided the volunteers into groups of two, four, eight and twelve and closely watched the development of their trade relations.

As stated in an interview with «LiveScience» Camera: "In large groups of volunteers more wary of each other, and in the absence of material gain any confidence between them was not in sight».

At one stage of the experiment participants were asked to make use of special tokens, which had no value outside the laboratory (the real money rewards were determined only by the number of the party's resources), but people have become more willing to cooperate, and it is easier given the decision on helping others group members. "We can not say that they completely trust each other, but at least they have to rely not only on themselves. Badges are made as a "symbol of trust", "- explains Gabriel camera.

According to sociologists, volunteers used the tokens as money, and the level of cooperation in groups with such "pseudo-money" remained consistently high, and in the absence of a "cash equivalent" people were not inclined to trust each other, so the money in addition to the economic functions are performed and social It is a universal "yardstick" of confidence not only in trade but also in public relations.
