In Experiment 1, compared to the powerless, the powerful condemned other people&#8217;s cheating, while cheating more themselves. In Experiments 2-4, the powerful were more strict in judging others&#8217; moral transgressions but more lenient in judging their own transgressions. A final study found that the effect of power on moral hypocrisy depends on its legitimacy: When power was illegitimate, the moral hypocrisy effect not only disappeared but reversed, with the illegitimate powerful becoming more strict in judging their own than others&#8217; behavior. This pattern, which might be dubbed hypercrisy, was also found among low-power participants in Experiments 3 and 4. We discuss how patterns of hypocrisy and hypercrisy among the powerful and powerless can help perpetuate social inequality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An article entitled &#8220;Power Increases Hypocrisy: Moralizing in Reasoning, Immorality in Behavior&#8221; by Joris Lammers, Diederik A.
