The experiment is just ridiculous. Even for Western countries like Australia. Imagine you lost wallet in a bus, and someone picked up. What is a normal reaction? The people notify the driver, the driver sent to lost@finding. And I am sure that department will never contact the wallet owner. Even for the owner comeback, a detailed ID check is necessary. And I believe here is no culture difference between Western and Asian. Here you may lack of understanding of lost property and the whole procedure of finding it. Then you just used biased data to prove “Chinese is dishonest”. That is not like a research people behavior. By the way in Australia, universities find students’ lost property will firstly use phone or message to contact students, less likely to use email. If researchers are from famous university, why not start investing the lost property recovering procedure at your home. In addition, I really don’t think there is strong correlation between ‘notify the owner’ and ‘honesty’
