Why do people cheat?
Why do we react so strongly to this video? The human brain may have very strong feelings about right vs wrong and we don’t like it when people don’t get the outcome we think they should have. We don’t like to see people getting away with things especially if they are in positions where they are supposed to uphold certain principles.
Also the brains of those who cheat have been studied and it appears that there may be differences in the way that they seek rewards. They may seek the thrill. It doesn’t mean this is an excuse but it may be an explanation.
What do you think?
*I have not met, treated or diagnosed anyone in this video, this is purely about the science of cheating*.
