Psychology of Lying Featured on “Morning Show”
Mary Jacobsen talks with Christian Hart, Ph.D., about what psychological science reveals about lying and liars.
Dr. Hart is Professor of Psychology at Texas Woman’s University, where he is the Director of the Human Deception Laboratory. He’s the co-author of Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped, forthcoming from the American Psychological Association in August of this year.
Hart responds to the questions that many people have been asking in response to news about Congressman George Santos’ many and easily disproven falsehoods: what personality types are prone to excessive lying; what motivates the lying; why do people often initially believe the falsehoods told by notorious liars such as Santos, Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes, or Anna Sorokin; why do people begin to believe lies are true when they are repeated often enough; and how can we avoid being duped.
