New Study Finds Greeks to be More Honest Than Others

CorruptionGreeks are not that dishonest after all.
A new survey by the University of East Anglia questioned 1,500 people from 15 different countries on how honest they are and the degree of honesty they believe their own countries as well as other ones have. The degree of honesty of the respondents was tested by asking them to flip a coin and reporting the landing side, while heads yielded a greater monetary reward than tails. A second method was asking them to take a music quiz that included very difficult questions without help from the internet.
Among the study’s findings was that Greeks are more honest than people from other countries give them credit for. In fact, Greeks were expected to be the most dishonest of the group, even by Greeks themselves. Instead, they proved among the most honest during the coin flip test and had an average performance on the quiz. This reflects one of the conclusions drawn by the responses, which is that people consider their compatriots as less honest than people from other countries do.
British citizens came out as the most honest while Turkish and Chinese citizens as the least honest.
