Overview

This research examines prevalence and frequency of parental lying in Dutch and U.S. families, highlighting lie types and implications for cross-country comparisons.

Key Points

  • Most parents in both countries reported lying, but frequent lying was rare among them.
  • Chi-square tests revealed significant differences in prevalence and frequency of lie types across the two nations.
  • Cross-sectional self-report data were collected from 231 parents with children aged 6 to 16 in both countries.
  • Establishing full measurement invariance supports valid comparisons of parental lying tendencies between Dutch and U.S. parents.
