cheatingPeople who describe themselves as "honest" or "caring" may be

Psychology. "When faced with a moral decision, those with a strong
moral identity" are more likely to rationalize cheating as a means for
them to achieve their ultimate altruistic goals, said researcher Scott
Reynolds.Reynolds, S., & Ceranic, T. (2007). Journal of Applied
