In this article, we focus on how people resolve the dilemma between honest feedback and a prosocial lie depending on the context. In a pre-registered study ( = 455), we asked participants to choose between telling the blatant truth or lying prosocially regarding a dish made poorly by a stranger. The results showed that participants were most eager to pass on overly positive feedback when the stranger cared about cooking and was very sensitive to negative feedback. Perceived harm in truth telling mediated the relationship between desire to excel in a task with high ability to handle failure and choosing a prosocial lie.
在本文中，我们关注人们如何根据具体情境解决诚实反馈与善意谎言之间的两难困境。在一项预先注册的研究（N = 455）中，我们要求参与者在对一个陌生人做的难吃的菜肴说出直白的真话或善意说谎之间做出选择。结果表明，当陌生人关心烹饪且对负面反馈非常敏感时，参与者最急于传递过度积极的反馈。在说实话时感知到的伤害介导了在处理失败能力较高的任务中追求卓越的愿望与选择善意谎言之间的关系。
