Inducing participants to violate trust

  • 1.  Inducing participants to violate trust

    Hi OB-Listers,

    I am looking for experimental studies that involve inducing participants to violate the trust of another person (another participant, a confederate, or the experimenter themselves).

    Thus far, I have found only three examples of induced-violation manipulations:

    - Wallace, Exline & Baumeister (2008), where participants are privately "singled out to assist the experimenter" by defecting in a prisoner's dilemma game.
    - De Jong, Peters, De Cremer & Vranken (2002), also induced a PD-game violation with instructions to the participants
    - Kelln & Ellard (1999), where participants were led to believe that they had broken a piece of experimental equipment they had promised to treat carefully

    I am sure there are others out there.  Any suggestions or citations would be gratefully accepted.

    All the best,

    Lukas
