Question

Haley is an accountant for a large hospital network. She knows that she could easily "skim" money from the organization to keep for herself and chances are she would not get caught. However, she keeps thinking about what would happen to her and her family if her actions went viral and appeared all over the Internet or in her local newspaper. What ethics test is Haley considering?

Answer 1

Answer: front page test

Explanation: The front page test is a personal evaluation test which challenges an individual to reason the possible consequence of an intended action on the basis of how such action will seem to the outside world. A front page test examines one's feeling as to how it would feel to be published on the page of a newspaper, blog or internet for a certain conduct.

In the scenario above, Haley was making a personal evaluation or analysis of how it would feel to be all over the internet if her action goes wrong. This is referred to as the Front page ethic test
