Smug Alert! Exploring self-licensing behavior in a cheating game
2014
Clot, Sophie | Grolleau, Gilles | Ibanez, Lisette
We test experimentally a prediction of the ‘moral credit model’, in which committing a virtuous act creates moral credits that can license immoral behavior in a succeeding decision. We use a basic cheating experiment that was either preceded by a virtuous deed or not in a developing country context. We found that people who previously achieved a good deed cheat more. Gender and origin are also significant explicative variables for cheating.
