The aim of this study was to examine individual differences in ethical decision
making. To test this, participants’ Locus of Control and Machiavellianism scores
were collected along with the frequency to which they sought different media
sources for news, their knowledge of unethical and ethical situations that have
occurred in New Zealand and Internationally within the last ten years, and
individuals’ decision times to ethical dilemmas. Participants were undergraduate
and postgraduate students from the University of Canterbury, who ranged in age
from 18 to 50. The study found that the frequency to which an individual seeks
information from media sources is a good predictor of their decision time when
responding to ethical dilemmas, and the amount of knowledge they had of
unethical and ethical situations. |
