Using a real-stakes-taking decision within a nationally representative panel study, we show that participants prefer taking small amounts from many victims over taking a larger amount from one. We present multiple sources of evidence that this behavior is not driven by traditional utilitarian arguments, revealing instead that people perceive dispersed harm as less morally significant. We validate this finding by relating the decision to disperse harm among many to attitudes toward tax evasion.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><br>If you are interested in meeting after the seminar (meeting slots of 30’) you can register via this link:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/FC6RWsNg54EcavM7">https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/FC6RWsNg54EcavM7</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Sylvia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
