Getting people to do stuff, even stuff that will benefit them like diet, exercise, and proper hygiene, is often a dubious proposition. Defiance is natural in a lot of personalities. A recent study conducted by researchers from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom has found that printing a pair of actual, stern-looking eyes on a piece paper will actually deter people from littering. "Our work shows that the presence of eye images can encourage co-operative behavior, and we think this is because people feel they are being watched," said Professor Daniel Nettle in a statement.
