So it turns out the autofill in my brain does this for the word 'tipping'

What on earth is fly tipping?

I know I could google it, but where is the fun in that...

Re: Culture of tipping strongly related to cultures with high levels of corruption.

Fly tipping is illegally dumping rubbish, rather than taking it to a tip or getting the council to remove it.

But feel free to imagine it as knocking over flies because, let's face it, that sounds much more interesting.

I just jump straight to Mr. Pink. (disclaimer: I DO tip.)

Hey hey, woah woah woah. There's very little bribery in the United States.

Tons and tons of corruption, yes, but very little out and out bribery.

Resource not found.

So I can't read the article. But I'm not sure I buy the premise either.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I can buy that there's a statistically significant correlation, but I feel like they've identified their cause and effect the wrong way round.

I'm not downloading that even if it is hosted on Harvard's servers. Any chance you can share some of the relevant portions? I'm particularly interested in what it has to say about US culture vs Western European.

While an interesting piece of social science literature, I'd say there's probably a few short falls in their most basic premises.

For one, they didn't do a more extensive explanation of their research question and their data terms. They left them pretty hazy, to be honest. Defining a tip as money offered after a service is rendered is really loose; there needs to be a much tighter definition and link to social

They even raised a point that I feel they should have considered more closely- whether tipping interacts with other characteristics of a country. This is kind of problematic, because you could take any number of the characteristics that they further list, and use that as a better correlation between the prevalence of tipping and whatever else.

I agree with their general discussion in that, going by the views in this study, tips and bribes tend to be blurred. But that's because of the hazy definition they gave each data term in the beginning, in differentiating tips and bribes solely on when they are dispersed.

Interesting idea, good literature review and surveys, sloppy initial stance. Harvard, I am strangely disappoint.

This is such shitty research that it comes across to me as you trying to argue that your culture is superior.
