“Others compare selfdeception to our
deception of others,
suggesting that selfdeception must involve
a fragmentation of the
personality into several
different subminds, and
that self-deception
happens when one of
these components
succeeds in fooling the
others in order to get its
way”
Thanks to this we can
see two things, lying
can often be seen as a
portion of your full
mind, and that people
often see lying as lying
towards them. Implying
that we view lying as
harmful to both others
and ourselves
“In every instance of
motivational biased
belief we try to bring it
about that we acquire or
retain that belief”
This is a quote where
we see the negative
effects of lying. As the
more we do it, the more
we will continue to do
it. Saying that lying is
often self-destroying
and overall negatively
effecting us.

“Lying is obliged by its
very nature to cover its

effectively we must lie

“Lying to oneself is
rooted in fear, guilt, or
mental disorder”
“On the FTL model
there need be no such

“Garden variety can be

In short this states that
when lying without face
to face interactions, you
really don’t need much
effort. With this I think
it’s easy to see that
lying would then be
more prevalent.
With this we can get
that when lying we
don’t have the intent to
do so, rather we simply
do and don’t care why
or for what purpose.

“As a result, according
to the literature on
“reality monitoring,”
stories based on
imagined experiences
are qualitatively
different from stories
based on
real experiences”
The quote here says that
the quiltiy of a lie is far
different from that of
the truth. Meaning that
if you can find out
whether more detail is
the truth or lie, you can
find the truth.
Deception: The
Role of
Consequences
“Utilitarianism
prescribes that, when
choosing whether to lie,
one should weigh
benefits
against harm, and
happiness against
unhappiness”
Looking at this we can
glean that in our society
we can say that those
who lie are often
already unhappy or
think it will have more
benefits, while those
whp don’t lie are seen
as happy and those who
have something to lose.
“Finally, the process of
creating a false story
should
consume cognitive
resources leading liars
to tell less complex
stories”
This is a big help to our
argument, stating that
lying takes brain power,
and this makes the lies
you make more and
more simple. So we can
tell that a more complex
story is most likely true.
“The main empirical
finding is that people
not only care about
their own gain from
lying; they also are
sensitive
to the harm that lying
may cause the other
side”
When using a device we
often lie about
something we haven’t
done, or that we can’t
do something, however
in doing so we feel bad
for those on the
receiving end, and try to
apologize for what we
did.

As we think about lying
and how to recognize it,
we have to think about
how we would act. This
used the past tense to
describe someone, so
that person would
already be gone. Thanks
to this we see that
people will lie to protect
themselves from what
has already been done,
as if its already finished.
“In the mechanism
design literature (e.g.,
Bengt Holmstrom,
1979), the standard
assumption
is that people will tell
the truth only if this

outcomes”
With this it’s pretty
plain. When we don’t
have anything to gain
we tell the truth, but
when we could gain
something, we lie, this
the whole idea of greed
and averice as a means.
Lying relies on
the truth
“Cognitive models of
deception focus on the
conflict-inducing nature
of the truth activation
during lying”
For this quote it states
that deception makes us
tell the truth as a part of
it, however we have an
internal battle to tell the
truth or not. So with this
we glean that its often
seen as a moral
dilemma to lie or not.

A Pack of Lies:
Towards a
Sociology of
Lying
“We see lying as a

failing and assume that
unless we make great
efforts to train children
to be honest, they will
follow a natural
tendency and tells lies”
We see lies as a terrible
thing. We as the adults
teach that lying is a bad
thing, however we
ourselves lie to teach
them. So we I think we
are hypocrites in the
worst sense, because we

“A spoken lie may form
only one part of an act
of deception; the liar
may use, consciously or
unconsciously, what has
come to be known as
body language as a
means of enhancing the
chances of success for
the deceit; on the other
hand, unintended body
movements may
enhance the likelihood
that a liar will be
detected”
This is a very
interesting quote,
because it says that
when you able to see
the body language of
the person, you can’t
tell if it’s a lie. It opens
more than one pathway
making more and easier
to lie. And I believe that

observations. So it’s fair
to say that when
constantly exposed to

mind will change your
behavior to suit that
situation.
“A lie, as it were, sets
our audience off more
firmly along a specified
false trail, whereas a
silence may start a
multitude of false hares.
This tells us that we lie
to put someone on the
wrong path. We confuse
them so they can’t find
the truth, and thus keeps
them safe. I think this is
one of the best reasons
why people lie, to
protect themselves. And
when there is only so
much we can learn
about the situation, this
becomes a very
effective means of
coming out unscathed.
