摘要

A 1990 review of the research on the validity of integrity-honesty tests performed by the U.S. Congress's office of Technology Assessment found no studies conducted by independent researchers in which detected theft was used as the criterion. In the first such study, we found that scores on an honesty test successfully predicted detected theft for a group of convenience store employees. No significant differences on the test emerged as a function of race, gender, or age.
