Deception as a Form of Communication in the Czech Republic
Öz
Deception is a wide-spread form of communication and according to foreign researches, more than 90 % of people admit to lie at least sometimes, with the number of lies varying between 1 a day to 1 or 2 in every 10 minute-long conversation. As those results come mostly from the USA studies, we addressed deception in the Czech Republic and compared our results with those from American studies. We used an on- line questionnaire to collect data from 112 respondents. An SPSS analysis showed that 100 % of respondents lied at least sometimes with men admitting more lies than women. Similar to foreign researches respondents most frequently lie about their relationships, incomes and work or education successes. Men would more probably lie to protect a close person, women lie more often to gain advantages from others, which contradicts foreign results. Lying to children is easier for 75 % of respondents and lying to strangers is easier to 97 % of them.
