**2.6 Other determinants**

The article "Behavioral Determinants of Corruption: A Cross-Country Survey" examines the behavioral factors that contribute to corruption in various countries. The study surveyed participants from Romania, Italy, Spain, and Hungary to determine the relationship between demographic characteristics, social norms, trust, and corrupt behavior. The results show that people who are older, more educated, and have a higher income are less likely to engage in corrupt behavior. The study also found that social norms play a significant role in shaping attitudes toward corruption, with participants reporting higher levels of corruption in countries with weaker social norms. Additionally, the study found that trust in institutions and the government is negatively correlated with corrupt behavior. The authors suggest that addressing the behavioral factors that contribute to corruption can be an effective approach to reducing corruption in society [28].
