81% Adults in New Zealand Admit Cheating, says Survey
A recent news piece confirmed that as many as 81% adults in NZ have
accepted that they have cheated. It was during a new Colmar Brunton
survey show that the participants were asked this and they further
accepted that of the 81%, 31% cheated on their partner, and another 22%
in their work place.
"While we may not be talking big items, as any psychologist will tell you, children learn through observation and that leaves the responsibility on adults to set the right example", said Colmar Brunton's Spencer Willis, while asserting that adults were not just fooling others but they were lying too. The survey which was done in December 2012 included as much as 280 adults over 30-years-old, and had an error margin of plus or minus 4.4%.
The survey found that 50% of the surveyed accepted that they lied to their partner last month, but with 75% admitting guilt on the same. But, some 84% accepted that even if they lied, it was justified looking at the circumstances. Apparently, some 57% accepted that they are far better than what others do in their life.
Nonetheless, some 91% accepted that they are very much content with their ethics and character, vis a vis claiming that lying, cheating and stealing in reality doesn't make or break one's character.
