| Title: PRO-SELF ORIENTATION AND PREFERENCE FOR DECEITFUL STRATEGIES: SOCIAL VALUE ORIENTATION, DISPOSITIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL CORRELATES OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNISM | ||
| Author: Maria SAKALAKI, Penelope SOTIRIOU | ||
| Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore some dispositional and behavioral correlates of economic unfairness. In particular, this paper aims to explore: a) if opportunistic attitudes as measured by an economic opportunism scale are positively correlated to pro-self dispositions like narcissism, psychopathy and pro-self social value orientation, b) the degree to which opportunistic attitudes correlate with non-cooperative behavior towards unknown partners in a sequential game. Confirming our hypotheses, a first study (n = 125) showed that, opportunistic attitudes are negatively correlated with pro-social and positively correlated with pro-self social value orientation, as well as with narcissism and primary psychopathy. A second study (n = 77) showed that opportunistic attitudes are negatively correlated to cooperative economic behavior in a game situation. These findings highlight the affinities between preference for non-cooperative economic strategies and both pro-self social value orientation and self-focusing dispositional variables, as well as self-interest seeking behavior in a game situation. |
