Everyone Lies On The Internet, Research Says
By Dan Misener, for CBC News
The internet is a web of lies. That's according to new research looking at online honesty, which found that "online deception is the rule, not the exception."
Dan Misener — CBC Radio's ever-truthful technology columnist — looks at how and why we lie online.
This research — pub- lished in the journal Computers in Human Behaviour — was con- ducted by a team of researchers who were interested in online hon- esty. As they put it, they wanted to find
out "whether or not peo- ple are depicting their true selves online."
Researchers wanted to know about our own honesty — but also how truthful we believe others are. So they looked at this question across a few different types of websites:
• Social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
• Online dating sites like Match.com and Tinder
• Anonymous chat rooms
• And what they call "sexual communication websites."
They wanted to know if the type of website makes a difference — not just in how much we lie online, but how much we expect others to lie online.
And yes, the researchers did acknowledge that measuring dishonesty is tricky business.
Michelle Drouin is a psy- chology professor at Indiana University Purdue Fort Wayne, and was one of the authors of the new
research.
She said people reported lying about all kinds of things — their age, their gender, their appear- ance, activities and inter- ests.
Of the different types of sites they measured, people were most likely to be honest on social media sites like Facebook. Nearly 32 per cent of people said they were "always honest" on social media.
"The reason for this is because these social media sites, we posit- ed, have the most links to the outside world," said Drouin.
"It's a lot harder to lie about your gender or your age, for example, when you have pictures of yourself, pic- tures of your family, and most importantly, shared acquaintances."
People were a little less honest on dating sites and less honest still on anonymous chat sites. People were the least likely to be honest on "sexual communication" websites like Craigslist's casual encounters.
The short answer is that our expectations about others' honesty tend to mirror our beliefs about our own honesty. In
other words, on sites where we believe we're being honest, we're more likely to expect honesty from oth- ers.
But across the board, our expectations of oth- ers' honesty were pretty low. Between 55 and 90 per cent of participants in the study believed that others were lying at least some of the time about their age, gender, activi- ties, interests and appearance.
The most commonly expected lie is appear- ance — 90 per cent of participants expected others to lie about what they look like.
But perhaps most fasci- nating about this study is its finding that our expectations of
other people's honesty influences our own hon- esty — when we think other people are lying online, we're more likely to lie ourselves.
According to Drouin, most people reported lying online in order to make them- selves appear better.
"They wanted to be cool- er. They wanted to be more beautiful. They wanted to be sexier. They wanted to give an appearance of a life that was better than the life
that they were lead- ing," she said.
But there were other reasons too.
"Others said that they lied because they just thought everyone lies online.
This is the place where lying is stan- dard."
Ifwehavea better understanding of
dishonesty online — and the degree to which other people expect dis- honesty online — we can be less naive in our online interactions.
But there may be some- thing deeper at work here. Research suggests there's a difference between the lies we tell face-to-face, and the lies we tell online. Face-to- face lies are often spon- taneous, whereas online lines can require more planning. They're more calculated.
Much of our understand- ing about human rela- tionships is based on studying face-to-face interactions in the physi- cal world. But as more and more aspects of our lives move online, it's important to understand how the medium itself can impact our relation- ships — especially when we consider that we have a generation of people who are growing up in a world where most socializing happens on the internet.
And if lying and decep- tion is the default behav- iour, Drouin thinks it could be having a pro- found effect on trust in relationships —
and that's something worth better understand- ing.
