Is every dollar bill worth the same? Or does a dollar earned honestly have a different value than a dollar with a sketchy history?
每一塊錢都具有一樣的價值嗎？靠正當勞動掙取的一美元與有不光彩歷史的一美元價值不同嗎？
In fact, a new study finds that people think of money made from questionable activity as having less value than profits made above board. And they're less likely to want the tainted money. The study is in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
事實上，一項新的研究發現：人們普遍認為靠非法活動賺取的錢比辛苦勞動換來的價值要小。人們不太愿意要不太干凈的錢。這項研究發表在《社會心理與人格科學》上。
Subjects were divided into two groups. All subjects got the chance to fill out and enter up to 70 raffle tickets to win $50. But one group was told that the retailer Target provided the prize. While the other group heard the money came from Walmart—and that Walmart had been accused of poor labor practices. The subjects in the “Walmart” group entered significantly fewer tickets than those in the “Target” group.
研究中受試者被分為兩組。所有的受試者都有機會填寫，輸入70張彩票并贏得50美元。其中一組被告知獎金是由零售商塔吉特公司贊助，而另一在組則被告知獎金來自于沃爾瑪，沃爾瑪之前曾被指控壓榨員工。“沃爾瑪”組的成員輸入的彩票明顯比“塔吉特”組要少。
The participants were then asked to estimate how many grocery items they could buy with their newly won money. And the Walmart group consistently estimated that their $50 would purchase less than the estimates coming out of the Target group. They thought of the Walmart $50 as having less value than the Target $50. Seems a penny saved could be somewhat more or less than a penny earned.
然后讓受試者估計自己能用新贏來的錢買多少東西。“沃爾瑪”組成員對50美元所能買到的東西的預測要少于“塔吉特”組。他們認為來自沃爾瑪的50美元的價值要少于塔吉特公司。似乎節省一個便士正好等于掙了一個便士。
