I did this psyblog article because it interested me alot, and i wanted to read the story too because i commented on somebody's and the article was interesting. In this article, they tested the statistic that people lie three times withing the first ten minutes of meeting someone. They took 121 people and tested them by seeing how many times they would lie within a ten minutes conversation with a new person. The shocking thing is that 60% of the people claimed to have lied, and 40% claimed they hadn't. Proving that the statistic was correct indeed.
I didn't fully agree with it, but at the same time i did. People lie all the time, whether it can be helped or not. Its human nature to lie, its called sin. No matter how hard we try, you will eventually tell a lie. Even if it is a little lie like saying im great when you really aren't feeling great. It may be for the right intentions and it may not be, but nonetheless the statistic was proven to be feasible.
