9. Then, the researchers watch what happens. 68% of kids, aged 3 to 11, will spontaneously say they love the gift of old ugly soap. The older they are, the more likely they are to say a white lie about the gift If parents encourage the children to say how much they like the present, the percentage of kids lying about the gift increases to 87%.
10. At this point, some of you may be saying that awhite lie isn't a lie. But kids don't think of lying in the sameway. Kids just don't believe that lying comes in shades of white or gray, Lying is much simpler than that lying istelling somebody something that isn't so; lying is really bad;and lying gets you punished. And if it gets you punished, you shouldn't do it.
11. In Talwar's lab, parents have literally cheered to hear their kids lie about how great it is to have received the oldsoap. The parents brim with pride over their children's knowing the socially appropriate response. Regardless of the parents' pride, the kids aren't happy about their successfullying. Instead, it can be torture for them. The kids were disappointed when they were handed the soap, but that was nothing compared to the discomfort they showed while havingto lie about liking it. They stammered. They fidgeted.Some looked like they were going to cry. It was simply painful to watch.
