Abstract

Dark personalities are known for their propensity for deception, but less is known about how they lie in different contexts. They reported intentionally being less convincing during truths but not for lies, potentially to increase the persuasiveness of the latter. Additionally, linguistic patterns emerged for low- and high-stakes deception.
