Book excerpt: In an online survey, the honesty of residents of eight countries was measured in three ways: by the standard coin flip experimental paradigm, by a new experiment designed to resemble a test with the possibility of cheating, and by a questionnaire of integrity. While the coin flip paradigm successfully predicted cheating in the test, the integrity questionnaire was either not correlated with the two experimental measures, or correlated in an unexpected direction. I also report findings on the differences in honesty across societies, and on the accuracy of respondents' beliefs about different societies' honesty levels.
