It's good to spot a lie but it's even better to know why people lie in the first place.
One theory says that there are three types of lies: pro-social, self-image and antisocial ones.
A. Pro-social lies are lies people tell to help somebody else, like when they lie for their friend or their parents lie for them at school by saying their son or daughter couldn't do their homework because they were sick.

DISHONESTY RULES
Donald McCabe a Rutgers University professor, has done some research into cheating at schools and university. The results of his work are truly shocking. 95 % og high school students say they've cheated during the course of their education, either by letting somebody copy their homework or by cheating in tests.
"There's lot of cheating going on but students aren't all that embarrased about it" says professor McCabe.
He has been analyzing cheating practices among college students for 18 years and among high school students for six years. He's surveyed 24,000 high school students in 70,000 high schools, grades 9 to 12.
The results surprised everyone. 64 % of students report one or more instances of serious test-cheating, which include copying from someone else, helping someone else cheat, or using cheat notes, McCabe says.
The professor's findings, however, don't report on cases in which students told classmates what was going to be in a test, because "that's something that students don't consider to be serious" McCabe says.
Plagiarism may be another practise students don't consider to be serious. Some 58% of those McCabe surveyed admitted to plagiarism : from downloading a whole paper to "cutting and pasting" online publications and not giving the source.
He also describes newly-invented and originl methods od cheatings students use. An example he gives is the "water bottle trick", where students remove the label from the bottle, write their cheat notes on the back of it, then put the label back on. The water then makes the cheat notes look bogger.
Another story is about a student who hacked into a teacher's computer account to get a copy of the biology exam. "He only got caught because he was so proud of what he'd done, and boasted about it" McCabe says.
