Such cases of seemingly entrenched corruption highlight the importance of increasing our understanding about context-specific drivers of corrupt behaviours.\n\nTraditionally, anti-corruption has focused on the incentives and constraints that impinge on individuals’ cost-benefit calculations and decision-making as determined by the law and associated regulatory frameworks. Nevertheless, a growing body of evidence suggests the relevance of more intuitive, automatic, quasi-rational and non-rational decision-making factors that take place in the subconscious mind  and which may be heavily influenced by contextual factors grounded in sociality, collective ways of thinking and culture. \n\nThis chapter presents empirical evidence from the application of a behavioural research perspective to shed light on how collective practices of petty corruption are experienced, understood, and ultimately justified from the perspective of those directly engaging in them.\n ",[21],"English",[23,26,29],{"countries_id":24},{"name":25},"Rwanda",{"countries_id":27},{"name":28},"Tanzania",{"countries_id":30},{"name":31},"Uganda",[33,37,41],{"tags_id":34},{"id":35,"name":36},848,"Behavioural science",{"tags_id":38},{"id":39,"name":40},1373,"Corruption prevention",{"tags_id":42},{"id":43,"name":44},982,"Anti-corruption",{"id":46,"title":47,"slug":48,"image":49,"type":50,"date_published":52,"publisher":53,"summary":6,"body":54,"area":6,"programme":6,"languages":55,"countries":56,"tags":59},1965,"Behavioural influences on attitudes towards petty corruption: a study of social norms, automatic thinking and mental models in Tanzania","behavioural-influences-attitudes-towards-petty-corruption-study-social-norms-1","43e91cad-6999-4e9a-abfd-f7e0031f914d",[51],"Report","2017-12-01","UK Department for International Development (DFID) through its East Africa Research Fund (EARF)","The UK Department for International Development (DFID), through its East Africa Research Fund (EARF), commissioned the Basel Institute on Governance to conduct the research project “Corruption, Social Norms and Behaviours in East Africa” aiming at shedding light into those “[behavioural] factors that influence the propensity for poor people to engage in, resist and report ‘corrupt transactions’” in three East African countries, namely, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.\n\nThis report presents the main findings from the field research activities for the case of Tanzania conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of Dar es Salaam.
