The ‘Partners-In-Crime’ and the ‘Lone Wolf’: Comparing the Unethical Behaviors of Dyads and Individuals
Are people more unethical when they make decisions jointly in a dyad versus alone? People intuit that joint ethical violations lead to social bonding. Thus, dyads behave more unethically than individuals only when social bonding is needed. Interestingly, results suggest that "partnering-in-crime" may not generate social bonding for all individuals.
