What's the right thing to do? Increasing pro-sociality with simple moral nudges (2017, positive): “This is in line with an emerging strand of research suggesting that people, in their decision-making, strive for balance between maximising their material payoff and doing what they think is the morally right thing to do (33,70-72).”
