Paragraph list
The researchers left an envelope with a visible five-euro note sticking out of a postbox on a city street. Initially, just 13 per cent of people passing by took the envelope.
Similarly, when the ground around the postbox was covered in litter, 25 per cent of passers-by gave in to temptation.
It seems fairly clear that people's perceptions of the state of the surroundings affected their moral decision-making.
However, when the exact same postbox was painted in graffiti, more than twice as many people, 27 per cent, took the money.
A recent experiment by Dutch scientists suggests that human behaviour and morality may be influenced by environmental signs of disorder or neglect.
