创意丰富的人更容易骗人？

The researchers claim that this is proof that creative individuals construct imaginative justifications in their mind while cheating, and in particular, when cheating for money.
研究人员表示，这可以证明创意丰富的人在欺骗行为时会在心中构建各种充满想象力的借口，尤其涉及到金钱时。

A second experiment saw students answer general-knowledge questions by circling their answers on test paper.
第二个实验要求学生们回答基础常识问题，答题方式是在试卷上圈出正确的答案。

They were then told to transfer their answers to another piece of paper. However, the researcher then told them that this same test sheet had been accidentally marked with the correct answers.
研究人员告诉学生，需要将答案誊写到标准答题纸上，但是又告诉他们，由于影印用错纸张，答题纸上已隐约可见正确的答案。

Although the students were led to believe there was no way they could get caught cheating, a system was in place to catch those who had.
虽然研究者让学生们误以为在转填答案时作弊不会被抓到，但是其实是有追踪学生作弊情况的暗记系统。

Once again it was the creative types who had taken shortcuts by copying the correct answers. During this experiment students also knew they would be paid more for correct answers, so had more incentive to cheat.
结果再次发现，创造力强的学生会走捷径抄袭正确答案。在测试过程中学生们也了解正确答案越多，酬劳就会越丰厚，所以他们又有了作弊的动机。

'Being able to generate several original justifications for one's own unethical actions thanks to creativity may lead people to feel licensed to cheat,' the authors wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
《人性与社会心理学报》的作者在文中写到：“创造力使得他们能够为自己的不道德行为找到各种借口，可能会导致这些人觉得自己有骗人的特权。”

'The results from the current paper indicate that, in fact, people who are creative or work in environments that promote creative thinking may be the most at risk when they face ethical dilemmas.'
“现在的研究结果表明，创意强或是在有利于发展创意思维的环境中工作的人更容易面临道德的两难境地。”

The study did not identify a link between intelligence and dishonesty. Less intelligent people who lacked creativity were also no more likely to cheat.
研究并没有发现智力和不诚实之间存在关联。智力低、缺乏创意性的人一般都不太会骗人。
