“…In the present case, a particular stimulus is attended to differently based on the larger social context (i.e., being alone vs being watched). Interestingly, this kind of contextual influence represents the bedrock of many social phenomena that are now coming into the focus of social attention researchers (Crosby, Monin, & Richardson, 2008). For example, how does social standing, social roles, or social identities influence the distribution of attention (Levine, Resnick, & Higgins, 1993)?…”

People often behave differently when they know they are being watched. Here, we report the first investigation of whether such social presence effects also influence looking behavior-a popular measure of attention allocation. We demonstrate that wearing an eye tracker, an implied social presence, leads individuals to avoid looking at particular stimuli. These results demonstrate that an implied social presence, here an eye tracker, can alter looking behavior. These data provide a new manipulation of social attention, as well as presenting a methodological challenge to researchers using eye tracking.

“…Theoretically, determining the relative strength of the eye tracker induced social presence effect will lay the foundation for comparison to social presence effects induced by other means ranging from surveillance cameras to the very belief in the presence of supernatural watchers (Shariff & Norenzayan, 2007), and it will also provide important clues as to the mechanisms underlying these effects (e.g., Crosby, Monin & Richardson, 2008;Dale & Vinson, 2013). …”

We recently reported that people who wear an eye tracker modify their natural looking behaviour in a prosocial manner. This change in looking behaviour represents a potential concern for researchers who wish to use eye trackers to understand the functioning of human attention. On the other hand, it may offer a real boon to manufacturers and consumers of wearable computing (e.g., Google Glass), for if wearable computing causes people to behave in a prosocial manner, then the public's fear that people with wearable computing will invade their privacy is unfounded. Critically, both of these divergent implications are grounded on the assumption that the prosocial behavioural effect of wearing an eye tracker is sustained for a prolonged period of time. Our study reveals that on the very first wearing of an eye tracker, and in less than 10 minutes, the prosocial effect of an eye tracker is abolished, but by drawing attention back to the eye tracker the implied presence effect is easily reactivated. This suggests that eye trackers induce a transient social presence effect which is rendered dormant when attention is shifted away from the source of implied presence. This is good news for researchers who use eye trackers to measure attention and behaviour; and could be bad news for advocates of wearable computing in everyday life.Words:217
