Monetary Cues Alter Interpersonal Harmony Because They Activate an Exchange-Orientation

Three experiments tested the hypothesis that money can strain interpersonal harmony because it leads people to misapply money-market norms to communal relationships. Reminders of money (vs. neutral concepts) caused participants to institute exchange (vs. communal) relationships; heightened exchange orientation accounted for the link between money reminders and hampered interpersonal harmony.
