Detection of genuine altruists could be a solution to the problem of subtle cheating. Brown et al. (Evol Psychol 1: 42-69, 2003) found that humans could detect altruists using nonverbal cues. However, their experiments can be improved upon in several ways, and further investigation is needed to determine whether altruist-detection abilities are human universals. In our experiment, we used video clips of natural conversations as the stimulus. We asked a sample of Japanese undergraduates to rate their own level of altruism and then to estimate the videotaped targets' altruism using the same scale. The perceivers were able to estimate the targets' altruism levels accurately. Perceivers' altruism score did not affect their ability to discriminate between altruists and non-altruists. Perceivers' impressions of the altruist and non-altruist targets were also found to be different. Coding of nonverbal behavior of the targets revealed that altruists exhibited more felt smiles than non-altruists, which also supports the results of the previous study.
