Description
The current study examined the role of deception in conflict avoidance. In particular this study investigated the range of deception devices (e.g. lying, half-truth, distorting the truth, white lie, failed deception, and omission of the truth) utilized in relationships such as acquaintanceships, dating, and marriages. In addition, this study examined how destructive and dishonest deception can be in a relationship. Findings from this study suggested that some forms of deception are more common than others and that men are more likely to use some form of deception than women.
