Abstract

We experimentally investigate whether using a foreign language affects social and personal norms on dishonesty, and whether language dependent norms explain lying behaviour. Participants can inflate their relative performance in a real effort task, and thereby increase their own payoff at a cost to another. As our main treatment manipulation, we vary the language of the experiment, that is conducted either in one?s native or a foreign language. We find that dishonesty is generally perceived as more socially inappropriate in one?s native language. However, we do not find a systematic foreign language effect on lying behaviour. ? 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
