A study by the University Tilburg, the Netherlands, has allowed us to demonstrate how those who are placed in a position of power extends to the other (the subject) strict moral rules but is rather self-indulgent in their application. Why this mechanism to work
asymmetrical power must be accepted or you risk running it down. That is, if you do not deserve the power you have, you probably expect from yourself more than others in applying the rules.
News political leaders that you discover a brilliant extra-marital sex or personal use of funds or public roles are on the agenda. The bankers responsible for the disastrous global financial crisis in which we are immersed to the neck, after seeking the help of the states to save the banking system are now back to enjoy bonus millionaires. To find more illuminating examples you can search through the newspapers today.
The research carried out with the help of simulations carried out with the students of the same university (mostly students) shows that there is a direct link between the positions of power and moral hypocrisy, the power increases with the hypocrisy . Probably a remnant of our evolutionary history.
