Dimension of Lying

This particular lesson is needed because our political leaders and people that influence our everyday life are very nonchalant about this particular behavior. I thought it was wonderful that someone would take the time to explore a characteristic that needs to be identified. Most people think of this rebuttal as a misconception of our personalities.

With the support from the National Science Foundation, Science NetLinks has developed and reviewed a number of resources around the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. LYING is a characteristic that a researcher thought was necessary to investigate. The link will take you to the lesson to share with your students. This is definitely needed to create standards for our students.
