One of the world’s leading experts on human motivation and behavior explains the result of a huge piece of research into human dishonesty.
With the help of fun and consistently high quality animations from RSA Dan Ariely shows us in this film the eye opening mechanics behind the distorted rationalization of what it is to be honest, and how our economic games encourage us all to become dishonest.
The more rationalization of our acts, the greater the individual tends to be dishonest
So are we non-financial people more honests than a banker? Probably not, Dan concludes from this research.
But for the banker the rewards are greater – and so should be the penalties.
