ABSTRACT
The willingness to cooperate in social interaction often depends on factors such as trustworthiness, reciprocity, and gender, but perhaps also on situational factors such as satiety. Here, we examined Trust Game performance before (fasting condition) and after ingestion of a high-caloric drink (satiety condition) of 37 psychologically healthy male subjects who played the game against individuals of both sexes differing in facial attractiveness. Participants invested significantly fewer money units (MUs) in the fasting condition compared to the satiated condition. Female opposing players received more MUs than males and attractive players more than less attractive ones. Time to arrive at a decision was shorter in the satiated condition than in the fasting condition. These findings indicate that satiety affects social cooperation and suggests that physical needs are prioritized over social cooperation.
