Va dedicado a la amplia colección de sinverguenzas, chorizos de Palma, prevaricadores varios, agiotistas, y banqueros especuladores españoles. Especialmente a aquellos pillos redomados que le han amargado la vida a personas poco instruidas y hasta crédulas a quienes les colocaron las famosas preferentes. En todos los países hay un nivel de corrupción que varía significativamente en función de la madurez democrática. En Spain es como si toda la porquería aflorara junta y revuelta. Que Dios nos coja confesados en 2013.
Abstract
Seven studies using experimental and naturalistic methods reveal that upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals. In studies 1 and 2, upper-class individuals were more likely to break the law while driving, relative to lower-class individuals. In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behavior at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals. Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favorable attitudes toward greed.
