Faking It With Luxury Counterfeit Products: How Social Feedback Can Make Us More Or Less Dishonest

We find that social feedback while wearing counterfeits can encourage more dishonest behavior (if others compliment our counterfeit) or discourage dishonest behavior (if others question whether our counterfeit is fake).
