Paper Summary:
Research demonstrates that most of us lie, sometimes several times a day or even more. This is surprising to people who think of themselves as honest and forthright. The paper defines a lie before branching out into other issues linked to the concept, such as white lies, factors which affect how and why people lie, and gender differences.
From the Paper:
"One particularly difficult situation regarding lying involves a situation where a superior wants a subordinate to lie for him or her. In one informal survey, 82% of women using one website said that their bosses often asked them to lie for them, for instance, telling callers that the boss was unavailable. 91% were asked to lie to their boss' equals, such as partners, about the boss' presence or absence in the office (Staff writers, PG)."
