Project description
 

This study employs a Behavioral Theoretical Framework to analyze corruption tolerance in Ecuador, focusing on socio-psychological dynamics and cognitive mechanisms. It integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Theory of Neutralization to explain variations in tolerance levels. By exploring individual decision-making and cognitive justifications, it aims to enhance understanding of corruption dynamics and inform targeted anti-corruption interventions.
