People are more willing to lie for personal gain when they are using a laptop compared to when using a phone. In a recent study, participants were given a hypothetical scenario where they had to split money with a partner. Over 80% of laptop users lied about the money, compared to just 60% of phone users. The findings show that a laptop prompts a more self-serving behavior than using a phone. The study is the first of its kind to establish a link between technology and behavioral outcomes. Researchers say the difference could be caused by people's associations with the devices. Phones trigger associations of friends and family, while laptops lead to thoughts of work, success and accomplishments.
