Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether competition influences moral behavior, a topic that has produced mixed results in previous research due to varying experimental designs.
- Researchers collected data from over 18,000 participants across 45 different experimental setups, finding that competition has a small negative impact on moral behavior.
- The results highlight significant differences in effect sizes across studies, suggesting that relying on just one experimental design may not provide a clear understanding of the relationship between competition and morality.
Besides cognitive skills, non-cognitive skills-social skills in particular-are crucial for outcomes in various domains of life. The present work describes the design of the project, an intervention study with children aged 10-13 years using enhanced physical education lessons to foster social skills in a playful way. Utilizing a novel methodological approach various incentivized economic experiments were applied to test for spillover effects of the intervention on social skills.
