Mapping the Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 solute-binding protein-dependent transportome.

abstract：:Researchers have documented many cases in which individuals rationalize their regrettable actions. Four experiments examine situations in which people go beyond merely explaining away their misconduct to actively deceiving themselves. We find that those who exploit opportunities to cheat on tests are likely to engage ...
