It’s the political season, and charges of lying are flying.

But is there a difference between little lies (aka fibs, white lies, stretchers, dodges, evasions) and big lies (aka whoppers)?

And do we know why we lie?

The answers are “yes” and “for the most part.”

One study published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Psychology found that the average American lies three times in a 10 minute conversation. In another study, college students admitted lying between once and twice a day. And in Great Britain, a survey revealed that men tell six lies a day while women average three. Men lied most about their drinking habits, while women tended to lie to hide their true feelings. Three lies a day work out to around 90 a month or 1,100 a year. That’s a lot of hot air.

Lying as Self-Defense

Most prevarications fall under the category of little fibs. We tell them to avoid social conflict (“Lunch at Burger King sounds good to me.”) or hurting someone’s feelings (“What a lovely necktie!”). Generally, these lies do no harm and, in fact, make life easier. So it was unsurprising that in the British study, 75 percent of respondents said it was “acceptable” to lie in order to spare someone’s feelings. The bigger – and more destructive – lies aren’t intended to protect the social fabric. They’re told to protect our own self-image. When our ideal self is contradicted by reality, we lie to build ourselves up. “We find that as soon as people feel that their self-esteem is threatened, they immediately begin to lie at higher levels,” says one psychologist.

20 Common Lies

I’m fine, nothing’s wrong. I was stuck in traffic. You look great in that [insert article of clothing here]. I only had one beer. My phone died. I had no way to contact you. I never got the message. I’ll call you right back. It didn’t cost that much. It was on sale. Oh, this old thing? I’ve had it for ages. I’m on the way. Thanks, it’s just what I’ve always wanted. You’ve lost weight. You haven’t changed a bit. I didn’t touch it. I have no idea where it is. I’ll try to make it. I have a headache. I would never lie to you.

They don't ask about you or your life.

Not only is this impolite, it's also a pretty clear, straightforward sign that someone's not really feeling you. Your significant other should want to know how you're doing. They should ask you questions, maybe about your family, your job, or your beliefs, being sure to listen just as much as they speak. They don't have to be Barbara Walters, but they should maintain a genuine interest in getting to know you. If you think they're at a loss for words, you can always spur the conversation or turn it into some sort of game. The key is interest, not so much the content or the topic. Seriously, it can be something that seems really boring, but as research has pointed out, "couples build intimacy through hundreds of very ordinary, mundane moments in which they attempt to make emotional connections." You've got to build somehow, even if it is just by asking someone's favorite color.
