As a Chinese, I have n ever imagined such a study should have been published on SCIENCE. HONEST saying, I presume honesty should not be judged by just a WALLET TEST, this method, obviously in a Chinese view, is more like a child, out of prejudice, holding a GUN against some specific groups. Not to mention about the WALLET involved is quite far from common. Wallet we used to see is in black or brown and made of leather instead of plastic, and Chinese would hand in the lost wallet to the police station if we can't contact the owner. Besides, we can't draw a conclusion only from employee's reaction to lost wallets. If so, this study has no consideration about the population classification such as age and education level. Lastly, I am obliged to stress two points. 1, Chinese don't even never use email to contact somebody. 2, Overwhelming majority of Chinese don't carry a wallet on. Wondering why, go and ask Jack Ma and Pony Ma.
