'Liars do everything they can to cover up their lies if someone threatens to expose them,' swhitbo explains. Here's what you can do to encourage greater honesty.
When people who have lied are threatened with exposure, they often craft additional lies, which then reinforces the fear of exposure.Drawing on people's best nature can help people spot others' lies and their attempts to cover up those lies.
A second example comes from the reports made public in the news show"60 Minutes," documenting Facebook’s alleged attempts to cover up information that could be detrimental to the company. The October 3, 2021 interview with former employee Frances Haugen revealed that “The complaints say Facebook's own research shows that it amplifies hate, misinformation and political unrest—but the company hides what it knows.
In your own life, incentives to hide a lie can clearly also emerge, though at a much reduced level. Let's say that you’re planning to sell a piece of slightly used furniture to a neighbor because it no longer fits in your home. Only you know what the piece actually cost and because you’ve kept it in such good shape, it actually looks far pricier than its actual value. You could, if you followed the principle articulated by Fries et al.
Taking these factors into account, the Berlin research team generated five separate conditions: “Super Observed” , “Observed” , “Basic” , “Double Blind” , “Super Double Blind” . In the first three conditions, the experimenter sees the reporting sheet and remaining coins, but in the final two, the experimenter never sees the sheet at all, making the lie essentially invisible.
Turning to the results, it was the observability of the die roll rather than the report which had a stronger impact on the extent to which participants over-reported their results. As the authors concluded, “when lies are detected for sure, participants no longer have an incentive to obscure them by reporting a non-payoff minimizing state.” In particular, moving from the Observed to the Basic condition decreases the size of cover-ups, or lies conditional on lying.
