Abstract

The present study is part of a much larger study that examined the ethics of bribery and the ethics of tax evasion from a variety of perspectives. In this study, data were taken from the most recent World Values Survey. This study included 83 countries. Women were either significantly more opposed to bribe taking or were somewhat more opposed to bribe taking in about 80% of all cases. Men were significantly more opposed to bribe taking in only five countries.
