Researchers induced either moderate or severe thirst in volunteers. Then pairs of thirsty subjects were asked to split a bottle of water.
Unbeknownst to the participants, the experiment was arranged so that everyone thought they’d be receiving less water than their opponent was getting. And a majority of the participants—even the very thirsty ones—rejected the apparently unfair offer. Meaning that neither they nor their partner got to take a drink.
The research is in the journal Scientific Reports. [Nicholas D. Wright et al, Human responses to unfairness with primary rewards and their biological limits]
Past research has shown that humans will also reject unfair offers in games played for money. This study was the first to show that people react in the same way when bargaining for a necessity. Nobody ever said life was fair—but we still want it to be.

And they do this for all kinds of products.(这么关键的研究结果....听到了都木有identifiy出来....)even if the product is not located in the middle of the vision(Also, it is not in reference to one's eye, it is literally about the product being central within the entire shelf layout.)--being用法怎么感觉是错的...只能说不是under GMAC地盘吧... P3-People may not even realize that they have picked products just because the items are placed in the middle of the shelf.
