The Lying Game

The Lying Game is a psychological concept describing a situation where someone intentionally misleads others by lying, often to conceal the truth or gain an advantage. It involves deliberate deception, sometimes involving multiple stages or layers, and can be motivated by various reasons such as self-interest, protection, or manipulation. Recognizing the Lying Game requires understanding the context, the motives behind the deception, and the behaviors that indicate dishonesty, making it a useful concept in fields like law enforcement, psychology, and communication to assess and respond to dishonesty effectively.
