Coworkers

Batston & coworkers (1999)


Ss were given a chance to perform an interesting task & a chance to win a raffle ticket towards $30 or a dull task with no rewards.

Ss had to assign themselves to one of the tasks & a supposed second S to the other task.

1 in 20 Ss believed assigning themselves to the positive task was the most moral thing to do, yet 80 % did. 
Greed won over morality!!!!!

The discrepancy between attitudes and actions are referred to as moral hypocrisy.


Moral hypocrisy - We want to “appear” moral, even if we don’t act that way.
