Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Behavioral economists and psychologists have investigated what factors affect trade-off between equality and efficiency allocation in asset allocation for others (distribution justice). In the present study we performed a behavioral experiment as a basic research of communication in cyberspace to test whether preference of equality or efficiency in asset allocation for virtual characters depend on their appearances. The results showed that simple characters invoked the equality preference similarly as human others. Furthermore, we found a positive correlation between the love-contagion score in Emotional Contagion Scale (ECS) and the equality preference rate when there was no physical (asset) difference between equality and efficiency choices. Perspective-taking scale in Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) also positively correlated with the equality preference rate in the no-difference conditions.
