People working together often scheme to put profits ahead of telling the truth. New research points to ways to stop this behavior. This article in Scientific American (April 29, 2022, open-access) summarises the very interesting set of results.

Leib, M., Köbis, N., Soraperra, I., Weisel, O., & Shalvi, S. (2021). Collaborative dishonesty: A meta-analytic review. Psychological Bulletin, 147(12), 1241–1268. https://lnkd.in/gsm5ZyJy
The public significance statement from the article abstract:
"We present the first meta-analysis on collaborative dishonesty—when groups can lie to increase the group’s profits—covering 87,771 decisions made by 10,923 people engaging in 21 different experimental tasks. Results reveal various situational and personal factors shape collaborative dishonesty, including, for example, that group members affect each other’s behavior over time. We propose that prosocial and honest-image concerns drive collaborative dishonesty."
