It is our contention that past studies have not shed light on the underlying psychological differences which might be leading to this difference in behavior. We put forth evidence that certain business majors are correlated with a marked increase in levels of narcissism and decreased levels of empathy, as measured by psychological personality tests.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderbusiness ethicseducationattitudeEconomic ethicsCommunity ethicsBusiness ethicsEducation and ethicsArticle
