I'm one of these hypocrites who would protect a loved one but would rat out a stranger 50% (1 vote) 1 No. i'm not biased. Family or Friend or Stranger, if any of them break the law, i'd do the right thing and bust them or 50% (1 vote) 1 A Study from the University of Michigan says that people are willing to BENCH their sense of right and wrong when it comes to their OWN FAMILY MEMBER..even if it means BREAKING THE LAW!! They found that blood is thicker than water as a family member would protect one of their own if they had broken a law and would keep it a secret The family protection happensfor any moral infraction but becomes moreintense when a person is guilty of severe consequences such as theft, blackmail, groping or even MURDER!! The study was published by Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and the authors were surprised people become more protective of loved ones as the severity of the crime increases Aaron Weidman said "We werereally taken aback tosee that most people predict that they will protect those close to them even in the face of heinous moral infractions" It collated answers from more than 2800 people in 10 separate studies when asked how they would react when someone close to them commits a crime such as sexual harassment They were also quizzed on how they'd react if asked by a police officer if they knew any information about an immoral act they had seen and they uncovered people would HIDE the truth and even lie in a criminal offense to protect family But the standards were NOT upheld for STRANGERS as participants admitted they would gladly blow the whistle on them as they justify their decision by claiming to discipline the "wrongdoing themselves". By doing this, people maintain their self-image as a morally upstanding individual as well as preserving the close relationship "Loyalty is a powerful motivator that, under any circumstances, can override other virtues like honesty" This also explains why so few people in the political scene would never blow the whistle on one of their own if it means could hurt their image and party as loyalty over values is worth more.
