Video transcript: We all see cases of cheating all around us. Whenever you open the newspaper, the television, or the radio, you hear claims like this. And the question is. What is the fact that you hear news about somebody cheating? What does it does to your tendency to cheat or not to cheat? So to examine this, we took a significant class of students and asked them a task. This was a little test they could grade themselves on, and we asked them not only to grade themselves but also to pay themselves. We gave them an envelope with $10. We said when you finish grading yourself, pay yourself $0.50 for every question you solve correctly and the money you don't make, leave on your seat and go away. This was an experiment, and you know, maybe unsurprisingly, people cheated.

But to examine what happens when we hear the news or learn about somebody else who cheated. In some conditions, We hired an acting student that acting students stood up as the experiment started and said I solved everything. They were cheating. There was no other question, and they left the room with all the money. The question is, what will this create? Will other people start cheating more or cheat less? Well, it depends on the kind of sweatshirt he was wearing. And here's the story. We ran this experiment at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. Suppose the student had a sweatshirt that made him look like a student at Carnegie Mellon. He created a social justification for cheating, and everybody cheated more. But if he was wearing a University of Pittsburgh sweatshirt, these are the other people from the other side of town.

You know, there's a natural rivalry between the two of them. Under those conditions, people did not cheat more; they were treated less than if they didn't stand up. And the way we understand it right now is that if somebody from your group is cheating more, you view that as a social signal that this is acceptable. But if somebody from another group is cheating now, it's not good; it's only these. Other people, and you, become more guarding and careful not to be mixed with each different group. What do we think about cheating in the news? It says that every time we advertise somebody who looks like they're cheating and are part of the in-group, the likelihood the cheating will go up. So the natural thing to think about is how do we take she doesn't portray them as outgroup individuals because otherwise, it will perpetuate cheating.
