SMORC Model

•SMORC - Simple Model of Rational Crime
•Let's talk through some examples:
•To steal candy from a convenience store
•To commit murder
•To cheat on a university final exam
•Other examples?

•Driven by two opposing motivations:
•We want to view ourselves as honest, honorable people. We want to be able to look ourselves in the
mirror at the end of the day and feel good about ourselves (also known as ego motivation)
•We want to benefit as much as possible by cheating and this frequently takes the form of financial gain

Foundation of the Fudge Factor

•Balancing the two opposing motivations is the human skill known as rationalization:
•As long as we cheat by only a little bit, we can benefit from cheating and still view ourselves as good
human beings

Fudge Factor Theory

when our actions are more distant from the execution of a dishonest act and when we can more easily
rationalize them, most people find it easier to be dishonest

Golf:

•Understanding the mechanisms involved in dishonesty is complex
