Liying
is
a
part
of
everyday
life
,
says
psychologist
Bella
DePaulo
,
____________________
carried
out
a
study
in
____________________
147
people
were
asked
to
keep
a
diary
of
the
lies
they
told
over
the
course
of
a
week
.
Here
is
what
their
diaries
revealed
:
-
There
wasn't
a
day
____________________
the
participants
didn't
tell
at
least
one
lie
.
-
Over
the
week
they
deceived
about
30
percept
of
the
people
____________________
____________________
they
interacted
.
The
most
common
lies
____________________
people
tell
are
those

____________________
they
pretend
to
like
something
to
avoid
hurting
others
or
those

they
make
up
excuses
to
get
out
of
trouble

According
to
psychologist
Leonard
Saxe
,
we
live
in
a
world
____________________
we
are
often
rewarded
for
lying
and
punished
for
telling
the
truth
.
"
If
we
admit
we
just
overslept
,
we're
punished
much
more
than
if
we
lie
and
say
we
were
stuck
in
traffic
.
"
Professor
Jerald
Jellison
of
the
University
of
Southern
California
did
an
experiment
.
He
proved
that
the
people
____________________
professions
requiere
the
mosth
social
contacts
-
for
example
,
shop
assistants
,
salespeople
,
politicians
,
and
journalist
-
tell
the
most
lies
.
The
truth
is
,
we
all
tell
lies
.
Occasionally
,
one
of
the
participants
in
Dr
.
DePaulo's
study
would
insist
that
he
or
she
could
be
entirely
truthful
for
three
or
four
weeks
.
None
of
them
ever
succeeded
.
