Definition
A lie is any deliberate deviation from the truth; it is a falsehood communicated with the intention to mislead or deceive.
Description
Lies differ in type, incidence, magnitude and consequence, with many gradations of severity, from harmless exaggeration and embellishment of stories, to intentional and habitual deceit. Behavioral scientist Wendy Gamble identified four basic types of lies for a University of Arizona study in 2000:
Prosocial: Lying to protect someone, to benefit or help others.
Self-enhancement: Lying to save face, to avoid embarrassment, disapproval or punishment.
Selfish: Lying to protect the self at the expense of another, and/or to conceal a misdeed.
Antisocial: Lying to hurt someone else intentionally.
