Lying can be interesting bad behaviour because there are many advantages and things to gain, as long as your a good liar. I think many people do lie to gain power or seem more interesting to other people. After all real life and truth are not that interesting.
In the lecture it was explained how politicians and business people were more inclined to be dishonest because of the nature of their work. It would be naive for these people to be completely honest and upfront as the competitor may have an advantage to the more honest business person or Gordon Brown of a country. For example Gordon Brown may not wish to declare the truth about his country because this could be detrimental for that country. Lying can be a neccessary means of defence.
Psychologists have studied deception from all sides and have found that it usually puts a psychological or physical strain on the person lying. According to research People with guilty knowledge — of a detail from a crime scene, for example — tend to show signs of stress, as measured by heart and skin sensors, under pointed questioning.
Trying to hold onto a secret is mentally exhausting, studies have found. When telling outright lies, people tend to look and sound tenser than usual.
“Specifically, people are especially more tense when lying, compared to telling the truth, when they are highly motivated to get away with their lies and when they are lying about a transgression,” said Bella DePaulo, a visiting professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
