Creative thinkers are more likely to cheat as they can come up with elaborate explanations to justify their actions, researchers claim.

最近有研究发现，创造力无限的思想者更容易骗人，因为他们能想出各种解释为自己的行为辩护。

The psychologists tested a range of students and found that those with vivid imaginations cheated in order to get a bigger financial prize.

心理学家测试了一批学生，发现其中有丰富想象力的更容易为了更丰厚的奖金报酬而骗人或作弊。

The students then used their creative thinking skills to come up with different reasons for their actions and ultimately assuage their guilt.

这些学生用他们的创意思维能力想出各种借口为自己的行动辩护，最后减轻了自己的内疚感。

'Greater creativity helps individuals solve difficult tasks across many domains,' study researcher Francesca Gino of Harvard University said in a statement, according to LiveScience. 'But creative sparks may lead individuals to take unethical routes when searching for solutions to problems and tasks.'

哈佛大学研究人员Francesca Gino表示：“创造力的确有助于人们解决许多领域里面临的困难，但创意的火花可能导致某些人在解决问题完成任务时采取不道德的途径。”

Scientists asked 97 students from southeastern U.S. universities to complete a series of recognised psychological tests.
