This research suggests that the first step in the design of mitigation strategies is to disaggregate the behavior and focus on specific forms of dishonesty.

Keep an eye out for more of my research on this point.

💢New paper alert💢

Dishonesty is everywhere — but it’s not all the same. My new solo-authored paper in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General disentangles cheating and lying as distinct forms of dishonesty.

A thread 🧵👇

The scrutiny of the environment moderates the effect of opportunity on dishonesty. I identify different rates of cheating and lying in high-scrutiny environments but similar rates of cheating and lying in low-scrutiny environments.

[Sam Skowronek @SkowronekSam]

Cheating vs. Lying: Cheating involves generating false evidence. Falsifying  documents, doctoring receipts, and fabricating data are all examples of cheating.  Lying, on the other hand, involves misreporting an outcome.

Q: How can we better nudge people towards honesty?

I wrote an article with a possible solution: focus interventions on the core justifications people use to justify dishonesty.

Check out my new paper with Becky Schaumberg:
You observe a colleague express shame at work. Their expressions of shame, more so than other emotions, lead you to infer how you should (and should not) behave. In this way, shame facilitates social cohesion & conformity.
