{"pk":27520,"title":"Do people behave dishonestly easily?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This study examines whether dishonest behaviors occur easily. In 60 trials, 100 undergraduate students viewed20 dots on a square divided into right and left sides and had to decide which side contained more dots within one second(developed by Gino et al., 2010). In with-reward condition, participants received 0.1 point for each left decision and 1 pointfor each right decision, and they received more sweets depending on points. Therefore, this asymmetrical payment structuretriggered motivation to dishonestly report more right-side dots, even when there are actually more left-side dots. The resultsdemonstrate that participants decided at greater frequencies that more dots were on the right side in with-reward conditionthan in without-reward condition, indicating dishonest behaviors occurred. Furthermore, participants with greater right-sidefrequencies in with-reward condition showed lower points on a morality scale. These results suggest dishonest behaviors occureasily and are related with a decline in morality.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters: Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3z78d228","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Hajimu","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hayashi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Kobe University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T21:00:00+03:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27520/galley/17156/download/"}]}
