在3个小型研究中，80名女大学生面临着两难的选择：分配给自己还是另一个研究参与者一个积极结果的任务，让另一个人去做一个枯燥乏味的任务。在没有提到道德的研究1中，20人中有16人将自己分配给了积极后果任务，尽管事后回想起来只有1人认为这是道德的。在研究2和研究3中，提出了一种道德策略：要么抛硬币，要么接受实验者分配的任务。在研究2中，20名参与者中有10人抛硬币，但其中9人给自己分配了积极结果任务。在研究3中，当实验者给他们积极结果任务时，参与者明显更容易接受实验者的任务。总的来说，结果表明动机表现出道德，但仍然有利于自己。这种动机被称为道德虚伪。
Across 3 small studies, 80 female undergraduates were confronted with the dilemma of deciding whom-themselves or another research participant-to assign to a positive consequences task, leaving the other to do a dull, boring task. Tn Study 1, where morality was not mentioned, 16 of 20 assigned themselves to the positive consequences task, even though in retrospect only 1 said this was moral. In Studies 2 and 3, a moral strategy was suggested: either flipping a coin or accepting task assignment by the experimenter. In Study 2, 10 of 20 participants flipped a coin, but of these, 9 assigned themselves the positive consequences task. In Study 3, participants were significantly more likely to accept the experimenter's assignment when it gave them the positive consequences task. Overall, results suggested motivation to appear moral yet still benefit oneself. Such motivation is called moral hypocrisy.
