In 2 diary studies, 77 undergraduates and 70 community members recorded their social interactions and lies for a week. Because lying violates the openness and authenticity that people value in their close relationships, we predicted (and found) that participants would tell fewer lies per social interaction to the people to whom they felt closer and would feel more uncomfortable when they did lie to those people. Because altruistic lies can communicate caring, we also predicted (and found) that relatively more of the lies told to best friends and friends would be altruistic than self-serving, whereas the reverse would be true of lies told to acquaintances and strangers. Also consistent with predictions, lies told to closer partners were more often discovered.
在两项日记研究中，77名本科生和70名社区成员记录了他们一周内的社交互动和谎言。由于说谎违背了人们在亲密关系中所珍视的开放性和真实性，我们预测（并且发现）参与者在与他们感觉更亲近的人进行社交互动时会少说谎，而当他们对这些人说谎时会感到更不舒服。由于善意的谎言可以传达关心，我们还预测（并且发现），相对于自私自利的谎言，对最好的朋友和朋友说的谎言中利他性的谎言相对更多，而对熟人及陌生人说的谎言则相反。同样与预测一致的是，对关系更亲密的伙伴说的谎言更常被发现。
