…buy a car with a snug seat, or so a recent paper would have you believe. “Four studies tested whether certain bodily configurations—or postures—incidentally imposed by our environment lead to increases in dishonest behavior.“ Apparently, the answer is yes…
I wonder what this says about today’s children, who spend so much of their time in constricted, restrictive devices (car seats and other baby-cages). Will they grow up to be more honest than otherwise? Or more timid?
I guess that depends on whether the effect is cumulative, or merely influences the immediate actions.
