Time of day affects the moral



During the day, we have to have a psychological impact, and as a result in the second half of the day we struggle with the temptation to cheat or lie. According to new research scientists at Harvard University and the University of Utah, people are more likely to resist the opportunity to behave dishonestly morning. The researchers conducted four experiments to evaluate how the time of day affects the moral behavior.

In each of the objectives of the participants had clear financial incentives to fraud, and in each case, people cheat more likely if the experiment was completed in the second half of the day. People who are in the survey have shown more honesty, or at least feel guilty when deceived, they were more likely to lie just after noon. People just do not attach much importance deception, the same could easily lie at any time.

The researchers concluded that our brains after the adoption of a number of small decisions "tired", and as a result increases the likelihood lie an average of 25%.
