Feeling economic inequality people are more often chewing
The study and three scientific experiments have proved that the attitude of people to crook, for example, to evasion of taxes or write -off in exams, changes depending on their living conditions and on how acute they feel economic inequality. Forbes writes about this.
Thus, employees of the Kelllog School of Management and the University of Ratger under the leadership of Professor Maryam Kuchoki conducted a large -scale study to find out how inequality in society is associated with people's tolerance for various offenses. They analyzed three other studies:
- assessment of social inequality in 196 countries from 1960 to our days;
- indicators of economic development of 182 states since 1950;
- The results of the survey of more than 125 thousand people, which were conducted from 1981 to 2014.

In particular, the respondents asked if they could control the events in their lives, whether they think that their actions are affected by competition with other people, whether they trust others, and whether they think that they can achieve financial well -being only by making others the poor. Also, the survey participants had to evaluate how much it was possible to justify those who write off on exams, travel without a ticket, do not pay taxes, take bribes and the like.
As a result, scientists came to the conclusion that people who live in society with a high level of inequality are more loyal to unethical acts and violations of the law. In addition, the survey participants believed that it is possible to violate the rules, since "their honesty would not change anything."

More than 800 people participated in one of the experiments. They were shown images of stairs with 10 steps, which denoted possible options for the distribution of material goods. Some stairs at all steps had approximately the same amount of funds, for others - almost all the money was located on the upper steps. The respondents were offered to choose a staircase and answer questions about the acceptability of crook and deception. After analyzing the answers, the authors of the experiment came to the conclusion that the more acute respondents felt inequality, the more often they justified violations of norms and laws.
“Inequality is closely related to the perception of control,” the coach emphasized.
During the second experiment, it turned out that even in a fictional society where the level of inequality is high, people turn a blind eye to deception and unethical behavior. As part of the third experiment, scientists have found that the more people are sure that he has tools and opportunities to improve his material and social status, the less often he is ready to forgive the deception and unethical behavior of other people.
