there is research out there

I just saw one study about how teachers and parents and other adults detect lying in children- even when there was none. Detection of course goes hand in hand with discounting. We treat a child differently if we think they are lying than if we think they are telling the truth. And while this is fairly obvious, and sometimes uppermost in our mind when we deal with children, it also happens with adults. Who hasn't been in a situation where someone tells you something you just don't believe, and you can't come right out and say "I don't believe you". Often there is no way to fact check these incidents, but you can't make yourself believe someone who isn't credible either.

I wish there was an easy way to find the research. I have a book called "You're Too Kind"- about flattery- which is on the same spectrum as lying, when the flattery is insincere. It's a very interesting read.
