The study, published in last months issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, used a series of

35、me knowledge in certain area. For instance, a participant would be instructed to work on an accounting task with a partner who just happened to be an expert in accounting. The first participant then got to decide whether they would be assessed(評價)as a team or as individuals. The results showed that

36、participants who were more likely to feel guilty were less likely to form partnerships. The authors suggest this might be because they were concerned that they would get more than they gave, thus letting their partners down.
