When you cheat once, you'll always cheat”, scientific studies say.

Maybe it was an elementary school spell test. Perhaps it was the copying of the duties of your best friend's biology house, reported <x0-Merium”, broadcast Periscopi.

It may have been on a test. Or maybe you were unfaithful to your partner or partner.

Have you overcome your guilt and ready to confess? Kind of guilty, but prepared to live with him?

Or do you have the ability to forget almost instantly, ready to pass on your future transgression?

If this scenario seems a little familiar to you (because, of course, you don't really remember any mistakes), then there's a scientific reason why.

Once you cheat, you always cheat?

The notion of selective memory means when you know someone.

According to science, this is known as Ethical Emnesia, and according to researchers Maryam Kouchak and Francesca Gino, it is the phenomenon that causes us, over time, to withdraw from our bad conduct.

This article was first published in May of last year, came up with a lot of research supporting the notion "Pass cheats once, always.

The Science Archive has published a new study that followed 484 participants in mixed gender romantic relations.

Researchers asked participants to report any sexual relations outside their relationship.

The results clearly showed that people who had had sexual relations in the past were three times more likely to do so again when compared with those who remained faithful.

So how did these findings come out?

Remade in the U.S., and as reported in “Mail”, the study (published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) also revealed how we can forget our mistakes, we are able to remember them very clearly.

Researchers experimented.

In the first, they asked 343 volunteers to write down both ethical and ethical issues they were responsible for, and then they filled out the questionnaires afterwards.

Another experiment involved 70 students playing a coin game, where money fraud was relatively simple.

Two weeks later, each participant was asked to complete several questionnaires by focusing on their memories of their previous game and the meal they ate that evening.

And 43 percent reported fraud, these accounts were far less vivid than those remembered for their food.

To appreciate this, another experiment was conducted that would encourage or discourage repetition of deception.

This time, 230 students participated in a diced game.

After three days, participants played word - type games that were very easy to deceive for more money.

Many of the volunteers had difficulty remembering their former deception and were therefore more likely to cheat in this game.

What was found as a result of the researchers was that we are able to reduce our unrealistic behavior, as it helps us to keep a positive image./Periscopi/
