Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between different types of lying behaviour (altruistic, self-serving, vindictive, and face-saving) and various psychological factors (authenticity, empathy, trust, moral disengagement, and loneliness). Findings suggest that the tendency to tell various types of lies is differentially associated with several psychological factors.
