According to the staff of the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University, boys and girls lie on average twice a day. However, in their opinion, this happens for various reasons.
Girls attach special importance to the quality of relations. Therefore, they are more inclined to "saving lies", because the harsh truth can break the existing harmony. Psychologists have proved this with the following experiment. Fifty students had to evaluate the amateur, mediocre picture. At first they expressed their opinion about it in writing, and then suddenly found themselves face to face with its author. Most of the girls, talking to the artist, "embellished" their opinion and tried to flatter the "artist". The boys were more straightforward.
As psychologists found out during other tests, it is more natural for young people to revitalize the conversation with the details invented by them, in order to impress the interesting storytellers.
And yet - it turns out, finding a lie, the girls are much more disappointed than the representatives of the stronger sex.
