With great power comes great responsibility: Superhero primes and expansive poses influence prosocial behavior after a motion-controlled game task

作者:

Highlights:

• We examined how social concepts and physical poses affected prosocial behaviors.

• After playing a motion-controlled game, subjects primed with superheroes helped faster.

• Sitting participants primed with supervillains showed lower prosocial intention.

• Standing subjects who played with an expansive pose showed higher prosocial behavior.

• The study expanded the literature and addressed possible confounds in previous research.
