That… is an interesting question. What happens when we explicitly see outsiders cheating less, though? ie, do we effectively do a “I’m better than them, so if they can be that good, I can be better”? or something else?
I wonder if self-control might be seen as a bad thing in that case—like in that study with the eagles and rattlers where arbitrary qualities were seen as “good” by one group and therefore “bad” by the other.
