Lie-telling behavior is an attempt to constitute false beliefs intentionally in another person. It is known that most of the studies examining the development of lie-telling behaviors focus on preschool children in the literature. Studies about the developmental process on lie-telling behaviors in preschool children, and the effects of various social, cultural and cognitive factors on these behaviors have increased in the last two decades. However, it is seen that studies on lie-telling behaviors are at the beginning stage in Turkey. Therefore, in the present paper, by referring to the studies on the development of lie-telling behaviors, the nature of these behaviors was tried to be understood and to eliminate the limitations seen in the Turkish literature. In addition, suggestions were made for future research based on the lacking points.
