This study examined the effects of haptic stimuli through visual stimuli in interpersonal behavior. The experiment participants were divided into three groups. The “harsh” group experienced harsh haptic stimuli using a web browser. Similarly,the “sticky” group experienced sticky stimuli. The control group did not experience any visual stimuli. After the experience, the participants were asked to join a public goods game. The experiment results showed that the investment amount of the “sticky” group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups. On the other hand, the investment amount of the “harsh” group was less than that of the other two groups. These results thus indicated that the “sticky” group behaved in a cooperative manner, while the “harsh” group behaved in an uncooperative manner. The experiment results thus suggested that haptic experience through visual stimuli can evoke haptic priming.
