“…At the heart of this process is the idea that the discomfort of becoming stigmatized for violating social norms is less intense in areas where there is a frequent violation of those norms by individuals and organizations (Lindbeck & Persson 2018). Repeated patterns of corruption exert influences and, through processes of social imitation, modeling and networking, such practices spill over, and they may be conceived of as normality (Köbis, Iragorri-Carter & Starke 2018). As a consequence, in highly-corrupt contexts, pursuing opportunistic private gains to the detriment of the collective good is highly likely to be dissociated from emotions of shame, guilt and embarrassment (Köbis et al 2018).…”

What We (Don't) Know so Far About Tolerance Towards Corruption in European Democracies: Measurement Approaches, Determinants, and Types

Cross-national survey data shows that for a significant share of European citizens, corruption is acceptable. Notwithstanding the importance of prior knowledge on corruption extension and experience, research has made little progress in exploring why people condone it, especially in unsuspicious countries, with effective institutions and stable democratic rules and processes. The present study examines this gap in the literature by assessing the European Values Study (EVS) and the Special Eurobarometer (EB) attempts at measuring ‘Tolerance towards Corruption’ (TtC) in OECD countries in Europe during the same period (2017–2019). In the end, measurements proved to be constrained by the limited number of questions/items that try to capture TtC, which gave room to conclude that: (a) EVS and EB approaches do not measure the same TtC. The first measures it through social transgressions not exclusively related to corruption, while the second measures the willingness to accept a public-office corruption when dealing with the public sphere. (b) Lower ages combined with individual preferences/perceptions of less satisfaction with life, widespread corruption, and prior experiences with corruption proved to be more relevant to explain TtC, regardless of the country in which individuals were surveyed. (c) The type of TtC citizens display in advanced democracies proved to be mainly contingent on their age and on the way they interpret the extension of corruption and the prior contact they had with a public-office corruption in a given society.

“…Específicamente, la literatura reciente sobre normas sociales y corrupción (Bicchieri 2006(Bicchieri , 2016Bicchieri & Ganegoda 2017;Köbis, Iragorri & Starke 2018) nos permite ejemplificar la transición de lo macro a lo micro a través de la noción de expectativas normativas, y estudiar distintos mecanismos que facilitan que los individuos perciban los comportamientos corruptos como legítimos. En primer lugar, introduciremos brevemente las teorías sobre las normas de James Coleman y de Cristina Bicchieri.…”

Este artículo tiene tres partes: en primer lugar, vamos a argumentar que la teoría de normas sociales es relevante para el estudio de la corrupción. Ello es así porque la corrupción es un fenómeno que se da en un contexto concreto, en el interior de un sistema normativo determinado, que permite definir ciertas interacciones como “corruptas”. En segundo, vamos a mostrar que la teoría de Coleman sobre las normas sociales adolece de un déficit teórico, ya que no admite ciertas sutilezas en la explicación de la transición de lo macro a lo micro (esto es, cómo los fenómenos macrosociales influyen en los individuos). A partir del esquema de Coleman sobre los niveles de interacción social, señalamos una asimetría no teorizada por el autor entre los mecanismos del paso de lo micro a lo macro, que generan un nivel macro que resulta objetivo o, al menos, común para muchos, y los mecanismos de lo macro a lo micro, que parten de un nivel macro que no necesariamente es percibido del mismo modo por los individuos, sino que está mediado por sus creencias sobre la sociedad; y esto es más notorio cuando se trata de un fenómeno como la corrupción, en el que hay fuertes incentivos para el secretismo, por lo que no es posible afirmar que el nivel social sea objetivo (en cuanto a su percepción por parte de los individuos) o común a muchos. Existen, como veremos, mecanismos que intervienen en la explicación de las conductas de corrupción que se relacionan con la influencia de las normas sociales. En tercer lugar, ejemplificaremos la transición de lo macro a lo micro a través de la noción de expectativas normativas, y estudiaremos los mecanismos que facilitan que los individuos perciban los comportamientos corruptos como legítimos. Específicamente, pasaremos revista a distintos mecanismos que están interrelacionados y que se refieren a: modos de transacción, disonancia cognitiva, narrativas e ignorancia pluralista.
