Licence to lie and the social (In)appropriateness of lying
研究不同社会环境如何影响人们对撒谎行为的社会适当性认知,以及这种认知如何改变不诚实行为的发生率。
Environments that encourage dishonest behaviour can compromise intrinsic honesty by altering beliefs about what is considered socially appropriate behaviour. I extend the incentivised Krupka and Weber (2013) elicitation method to the domain of lying and present two complementary studies that show how different social environments not only instigate different levels of dishonest behaviour but also change what a representative sample of Norwegian citizens perceives as socially appropriate when it comes to lying.
