The goal was to determine whether bribery had become more or less acceptable over time. Data were taken from the World Values Surveys, which gathered information in several waves between 1981 and 2022. The survey found that, for every country where bribe taking became significantly less acceptable over time, it became more acceptable in about 1.5 countries. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBribeCorruptionEthicsLongitudinal studyBook Part33534410.1007/978-3-031-77200-9_202-s2.0-105022223467N/A
