Lying

98 percent of adolescents admit that they lie, 98 percent also think that

lying is morally wrong. (via Nancy Darling of Oberlin

College, Ohio)

Page 3: Soc. project

So why does 98% lie if they truly believe it is morally

wrong?

Page 4: Soc. project

Hypotheses:

1.Adolescents do not actually believe it is morally wrong, they just say that because it is the ‘correct’ thing to do.

2.They grow up hearing that lying is wrong, but continues to see adults around them lie, giving them mixed signals.

3.Adolescents do not know what they believe, therefore cannot determine what is morally right or wrong.

I will be going with an anonymous survey because I believe that is the

quickest and most honest way to get the truth.

3. You feel guilty about telling a “big” lie?

a) Every timeb) Oftenc) Sometimesd) Occasionallye) Never

Page 9: Soc. project

The data will tell me when adolescents feel guilty and when they do not,

telling me if they truly feel it is wrong to lie.

My conclusion is everyone lies but those who believe it is wrong will feel guilty, and therefore lie

less.
