Honesty is a virtue, and telling a lie is morally wrong. But how can you know if someone is ___1___? The answer is, they’re probably not. Traditional economics says that people are rational beings who will lie if it is ___2___ their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we’re pretty honest ―especially ___3___ we’re at home.

Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to toss a coin. There was a strong financial incentive to fake the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participant would receive money or a gift voucher, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get ___4___. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no ___5___ of getting caught if they lied. And yet people revealed the truth despite that they ___6___ (receive) nothing. Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up roughly 50% of the time. In this study over half the people (55.6%) asked said that the coin landed heads-up. Most of them didn’t pursue the reward at the ___7___ of honesty.

Previous studies had found that people were more dishonest. In those laboratory studies 75% of people, ___8___ (include) some who faked the results, reported a winning coin and claimed a reward. So the research team guesses it’s being in our own home ___9___ makes us play fair. ___10___, what motivates people to do so remains unclear.
