We used the phrase 'strategic disclosure' not because we were afraid of saying that the kids we were studying were lying, but because lying itself is complicated.
使用“策略性透露”并不是因为害怕说我们研究的那些孩子撒谎,而是因为撒谎本是就很复杂。
You can let the person you are talking to continue to believe something false - as when a mother says 'I am so glad you don't drink' when you know, in fact, that you do.
你可以让谈话对象不断地相信某些事情是错的——当一个母亲说“我非常高兴你不喝酒”,实际上如果知道母亲这样想,你就真会这样做。
You can leave key information out that the person would want to know. 你可以将关键信息透露给想知道的人。例如,当你的爸爸问有谁参加了Party时,你可以说出4个朋友的名字,而不告诉爸爸其中有一个人也反对留在Party上。或者爸爸以为家长(举办Party家庭的父母)在家,而实际上你隐瞒了他们家长不在家的事情。
You can provide false information.
你可以提供虚假的信息。
Almost all youth tell us they lie sometimes about some things. When we ask teens what they learned about themselves during the study, they often say they lie a lot more than they thought they did.
几乎所有的青少年说有时他们会在某些事情上说谎。当我们问到从对他们的研究中知道了什么时,这些青少年经常提到的就是他们说的谎比他们想象的要多。
Parents whose teens lie a lot report more lying than those whose teens are relatively truthful.
爱撒谎的孩子,他们的父母也经常撒谎,相对诚实的孩子,他们的父母也相对诚实。
然而,父母们很难知道孩子在哪些方面说了谎话。实际上,在孩子可以在哪些方面上撒谎,父母和青少年能达成共识的只有25%。在研究的许多方面,这
都是最令人悲哀的地方。通常情况下,即使那些不诚实的孩子说出了真相,他们的父母也有可能不相信他们。
Parental Monitoring, Information Sharing, Disclosure, and Privacy
父母监管,信息共享,公开和隐私
It turns out it is an excellent example of exactly when teens are most likely to lie: areas of ambiguous legitimacy of parental authority.
这就是一个很好的例子证明青少年到底什么时候最可能说谎:该领域是父母权威的合法监管的模糊地带。
我们开始研究说谎是因为上半个世纪前人的工作都是在研究父母监管。Parental monitoring is simply the idea that kids do better when parents pay attention to their activities. Parents can't parent effectively if they don't know what children are doing. 父母监管是个简单的想法,当父母关注孩子的活动时,孩子们就会表现的比较好。如果父母们不知道孩子们在做什么,那么他们的监管就不起什么作用了。就如过去的广告——现在10:00了,你知道你的孩子在哪里吗?——被设计用来提倡父母监管,预防药物滥用及其他问题行为。
