DESCRIPTION:It is almost impossible to open a newspaper or turn on a telev
 ision without being exposed to a report of dishonest behavior of one type 
 or another. Names such as Enron\, Tyco\, and Arthur Andersen provide extre
 me examples\; other examples include cheating on taxes\, insurance fraud\,
  and employee theft. This large number of instances of unethical behavior 
 raises the question of why people behave dishonestly. A possible answer is
  provided by a rational\, economics-based framework\, according to which i
 ndividuals engage in a cost-benefit calculation that leads to the ultimate
  decision about dishonesty. In this talk\, I propose a different answer fo
 r the question of why people behave dishonestly. I argue that a psychologi
 cal perspective provides a more understanding of dishonesty. The talk will
  cover recent evidence on the drivers that can lead even good people to cr
 oss ethical boundaries.
