2、when the potential cheater has time to reflect on his actions.For their experiment, they appropriately chose the gambling dice(骰子), which was the symbol of sinful activity. They wanted to find out whether people were more likely to lie about the result of a dice roll when asked that result immediate
3、ly, or when given time to think.In the experiment, they gave each of 76 volunteers a six-sided dice and a cup. Participants were told that a number of them, chosen at random, would earn ten shekels (about $2.50) for each of the number they rolled on the dice. They were then instructed to shake their
4、 cups, check the oute of the rolled dice and remember this roll. Next, they were asked to roll the dice two moretimes, to satisfy themselves that it was not loaded, and then enter the result of the first roll on the puter. Half of the participants were told to plete this within 20 seconds while the
5、others were given no time limit.The researchers had no way of knowing what numbers participants actually rolled, but they knew, statistically, that the average roll, if people reported honestly, should have been 3.5.
