Abstract:

Three experiments examined the effects of individuals’ self-construal on advice taking in conflict-of interest situations. Findings revealed: (1)When there is a conflict of interest between the decision-maker and the advisor, the decision-maker’s adoption of the advice decreases regardless of whether the advisor is aware of the conflict of interest; and individuals with interdependent self-construal are more susceptible to the impact of the conflict of interest. (2)Different methods of conflict-of-interest disclosure exert varying effects on advice taking. For interdependent self-construal participants, advice taking rates were higher under self-disclosure conditions than under third-party disclosure conditions; no significant difference was observed among independent self-construal participants.
