Are groups really more dishonest than individuals?

Geoffrey Castillo, Lawrence Choo, Veronika Grimm

A common finding of the literature on dishonesty is that groups are moredishonest than individuals. We revisit this finding by making explicit thethird-party harmed by subjects' dishonesty: a local charity. With this explicitthird-party, we do not find groups to be more dishonest than individuals.Instead, we find that groups can even help moderate the extent of dishonesty.
