Abstract
Where behaviour defies economic analysis, one explanation is that individuals consider more than the immediate payoff. We present evidence that non-economic factors influence behaviour. Attractiveness influences offers in the Ultimatum and Dictator Games. Facial resemblance, a cue of relatedness, increases trusting in a two-node trust game. Only by considering the range of possible influences will game playing behaviour be explained.
