Is lying the key to honesty?
People may lie sometimes to appear honest if events that turned out in their favour seem too good to be true, according to a study. “Many people care greatly about their reputation and how they will be judged by others, and a concern about appearing honest may outweigh our desire to actually be honest, even in situations where it will cost us money to lie,” said Shoham Choshen-Hillel, a senior lecturer at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel.
