Teddy bear impact

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

From Harvard Business Review September 2011

May be not the kind of research where you can isolate the result to only one variable, but apparently serious enough to justify an article in a highly regarded management magazine. More teddy bears in the conference rooms and a set of crayons on each desk! I may try this in one of my client's offices where it wouldn't hurt to increase the pro-social behaviours...
