Lying Interview

Introduction

People often engage in communications of various kinds and for various reasons. Most of

these communications are interpersonal. During these communications, people tend to find an

urge to lie for various reasons, such as avoiding punishment, winning the admiration of others,

Findings

The study's results showed that fear was the main reason people lied. People often lie

because they fear the consequences of telling the truth, but the truth comes out eventually.

However, people feel guilty for telling the lies. In addition, the interview discovered that people

when people are lied to, they do not like it, which ruins most of their relationships. Further,

people are often aware of the harm that lies do in communication. Trust is the main effect of lies;

it decreases when people lie too much. In these results, some of the subjects could identify when

they were being lied to through nonverbal cues.

Moreover, people may lie for self-preservation and their love for others. They may lie in

good faith to protect the ones they love from the effects of the truth if they are not pleasing.

critical if a lie is to be believed. In addition, people may lie because it is an easier way rather than

explaining themselves to others. The relationship between the one being lied to and the person
