“…Consistent with this perspective, researchers have found that females tend to reach more severe ethical judgments than males (Beu et al, 2003;Dawson, 1997;Harris and Sutton, 1995;Hoffman, 1998;Mason and Mudrack, 1996;Ritter, 2006;Smith and Oakley, 1997).

Hoffman (1998) contends that these inconsistent findings suggest that ethical judgments and ethically related behaviors are situation specific.…”
