Abstract
An original measure of Munchausen by Internet (MBI) was used to investigate relations between this type of online deception and personality traits and relationship constructs. We examined the existence of MBI among US and non-US participants. MBI was significantly related to psychopathy, relationship anxiety, and low conscientiousness.
