What's on your office desk?

HBR details an interesting finding by Sreedhari Desai that states:

"Adults are less likely to cheat and more likely to engage in “pro-social” behaviors when reminders of children, such as teddy bears and crayons, are present."

In the labs it was found that subjects near toys or engaged in activities like watching cartoons:

• The number of cheaters dropped almost 20%.
• Were far more likely to form “moral” words like “pure” and “virtue” than those who weren’t.
• People behaved better in the presence of childhood cues even if they weren’t feeling particularly happy.

If this is all true, then the picture of the teddy bear in this post should make everyone jump at the comments form to socialise and express their thoughts in a pure and virtuous way XD
