An Empirical Study of Ethical Opinion in Germany

This study examined six ethical issues that were included in the World Values Surveys. Participants consisted of 252 business students at a German university who were asked to determine the justifiability of six acts using a ten-point Likert scale. The survey found that there was more justification for some acts than others and that some forms of tax evasion were viewed as being more justifiable than others.
