Children told lies by parents subsequently lie more as adults and face adjustment difficulties, finds NTU Singapore study
Although parents’ lies elicit compliance in children in the short term, adults who were lied to as children face adjustment difficulties
Parents’ lies elicit compliance in the short term, but a new psychology study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they are associated with detrimental effects when the child becomes an adult.
Adults who reported being lied to more as children, were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.
The research, done in collaboration with the University of Toronto, the University of California, San Diego, and Zhejiang Normal University, was published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.
