Researchers found that asking trick-or-treaters in costume whether they were dressed up as a “good guy” or a “bad guy” influenced their propensity to lie.
of Duke University has enlisted candy-seekers to learn about the ways that free goods affect kids’ decision making.
Here was the key: the trick-or-treaters were told that no one else would check the cup. Only they would know the true number on the top of the die. But to the researchers’ surprise, when trick-or-treaters answered the costume questions first — that is, when they were primed to think about their costumed identity — the pattern flipped: kids dressed as good guys claimed to have rolled a six 59% percent of the time, while those dressed as bad guys said they got a six 47% of the time.
The children in bad-guy costumes, on the other hand, might have been less inclined to cheat because they may have felt that they were being watched and judged, Tasoff and his colleagues wrote.
