Abstract

This study focused on the development of the Socialization of Lying scale for which exploratory factor analysis demonstrated four empirically interpretable subscales: Parents’ Values and Direct Socialization about Honesty, Encouragement and Modeling of Lying, Consequences for Lying, and The Child’s Problematic Lying. These emergent factors suggest that parents teach and give messages about honesty in explicit and implicit ways that may map onto the different domains in which they socialize the behavior. Future research should focus on further validation and revision of items. This measure can serve as tool for researchers to examine the influence of parent values and socialization practices on children’s truth and lie-telling behavior.

摘要

本研究侧重于说谎社会化量表的发展，探索性因素分析证明了四个可凭经验解释的子量表：父母对诚实的价值观和直接社会化、鼓励和模仿说谎、说谎的后果和孩子有问题的说谎。这些涌现的因素表明，父母以明确和隐含的方式教授和传递关于诚实的信息，这些方式可能映射到他们将行为社会化的不同领域。未来的研究应侧重于项目的进一步验证和修订。这项措施可以作为研究人员检查父母价值观和社会化实践对孩子的真相和说谎行为的影响的工具。
