Question

HONG KONG-Nine out of ten Singapore citizens returned dropped wallets with money in them, but in Hong Kong only three out of 10 wallets were returned in an honesty test carried out in Asian cities by Readers Digest(讀者文摘)．

Larger cities did worse while in general people in smaller places returned secretly planted wallets, results from the experiment showed.

Readers Digest secretly scattered 140 wallets all over Asia, each with a name, address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it.

The magazine workers then watched to see what happened.

South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets, while those in Inchon returned eight. 50 percent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully theirs.

Honesty had little relation to wealth or status(地位),as several well-dressed people in a number of cities were observed to walk away without doing anything to get in touch with the rightful owners.

About 57 percent of the wallets were returned, compared with 28 percent in Europe in a similar experiment and 67 percent in the United States.
