Dark secrets

Why is it that we tend to do things under the cover of darkness that we would never dare in the light of day? In a new study people were placed in either a dimly lit room or a well lit room and were given a sum of money. They were asked to complete a series of maths problems and then pay themselves for each correct answer they achieved in five minutes.

The participants scored their own work and while both groups achieved the same results, those in the dim room cheated more and paid themselves more than they deserved. In a second experiment people who wore sunglasses also behaved more selfishly than those wearing clear glasses. It happens because the experience of darkness, even wearing sunglasses, triggers an illusory belief in anonymity and results in unethical behaviour. Maybe we don’t need more police after all, just more street lights.
