Sagging confidence can lead to more self-interested behaviour -- or less.

(University of Toronto, Rotman School of Management) New research says that experiencing low confidence in one area can lead to attempts to boost our status in another, even if it means engaging in fraud. If we seek better financial status, we may behave more selfishly, or cheat. We may go in the opposite direction though, choosing altruism as the best way to restore our confidence.
