Perceived Deception: the Role of Perspective-Taking
Deception occurs when a seller deliberately provides a buyer false information that deviates from the facts. In five experiments, we examine to what extent such deviation influences the perceived deceptiveness of the seller. The results suggest that buyers have a comfort zone to tolerate small deviations, bounded by market norms and perspective-taking.
