This article is a guest contribution by Dan Ariely, Professor of Behavioral Economics, Duke University, and author of Predictably Irrational.
This is a short video from a talk I gave on June 7th at the Booksmith in SF.
The question here, is who cheats more and who cheats lessā¦.
Before you watch the video, think about a country that you have family or social links to (not the US) and ask yourself if people in that country cheat more or less than Americans.
A) People in that other country cheat more than Americans
B) Americans cheat more than the people in that other country
Next, try to predict if you think that bankers cheat more than politicians or if politicians cheat more than bankers.
C) Bankers cheat more than politicians
D) Politicians cheat more than bankers
Now if you donāt mind post your 2 answers to Twitter together with the name of the country that you have selected. Please use my username (@danariely), and I will collect the responses from Twitter.
