Between money and corruption a stronger bond than you think

Scientists studied more deeply behavioral ethics and found that between money and corruption, there is a strong subconscious link, because of which may deceive each other, even honest people.

The unique study to date had a staff of two universities - Harvard and the University of Utah: in the experiment was attended by 324 people, some of them asked to solve simple puzzles, which in one form or another to talk about money, and the other - the problem with no mention of the material values. The researchers then lost to the participants in the experiment a variety of life situations, and it turned out that those who have thought about this before the money coming unethically are more likely than those who did not. The same results showed another test, during which participants were asked to respond, they hired an employee, if he promised to "merge" the information about competitors - the first group would take just such an employee.

Psychology professor Kristin Smith, Crowe explained that the subconscious focusing on money makes you think only of their own advantage, rather than about the moral side of their actions. At the same time, according to her, no matter how much people love money - their constant references may affect the behavior of even full altruists.
