SENCI, Carlos Maximiliano. Experimentos de soborno desde la perspectiva de su validación de constructo. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2021, vol.53, n.158, pp.79-102.  Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2021.1271.

The article develops a challenge to the construct validity of bribery experiments, consisting in the fact that social motivations do not merely supervene on the intrinsic characteristics of individuals, but rather depend on contextual factors, in this case normative, that give content to those motivations. The theoretical deficit presented by the bribery construct is evidenced in an incomplete theorization of such a normative dimension in the operationalization of the bribery construct, which translates into a lack of operations representing the normative dimension at the concrete level of the parameterization and empirical correlates.
