Eine provokante Frage – und glaubt man dieser Forschungsgruppe hier, eine Grundvoraussetzung für späteren (zumindest beruflichen) Erfolg:
Welcome to the Child Development Research Group
We are a team of researchers at the Institute of Child Study, University of Toronto interested in children’s social and cognitive development. For over a decade we have been studying how children tell lies, why they tell lies, and what are the optimal methods to promote truth-telling in children.
Our research findings are important to parents, teachers, social workers and legal professionals. Our research has been featured in parenting magazines, television programs, newspapers (e.g., TVO, the Discovery Chanel, The Toronto Star and The Canadian Press), and books on child development. Our research has contributed significantly to the passage of a new law in Canada in 2005 (Bill C-2). This law makes it easier for children to testify in criminal cases such as child abuse.
…
We use experimental methods to investigate how children come to grips with the concept and moral implication of lying, whether children are gullible or they are able to detect others’ lies, and whether children can tell convincing lies in various social situations. We also examine the cognitive-social-cultural factors that affect children’s acquisition of conceptual and moral knowledge about lying and their ability to detect/tell lies successfully. In addition, we explore neuro-physiological correlates of lying in children and adults.

Kids who fib get to the top of the pile
Maurice ChittendenLITTLE fibbers could grow up to be big players. Children who learn to lie at an early age have better developed brains, marking them out as potential executives and leaders, say researchers.
…
Lying involves multiple brain processes, such as integrating sources of information and manipulating the data to their advantage. It is linked to the development of brain regions that allow “executive functioning” and use higher order thinking and reasoning.
…
“Almost all children lie. Those who have better cognitive development lie better because they can cover up their tracks. They may make bankers in later life!”His team tested 1,200 children aged 2-16. The most deceitful age, they discovered, was 12, when almost every child tells lies.

Lügen haben kurze (Kinder-)Beine – sic!
Aber auch Erwachsene können noch dazulernen. Empfohlen sei dazu (das antiquarische Büchlein) “Der Rolltreppeneffekt” von Felix R. Paturi.
Das hilft insbesondere denen – die sich nur ungern belügen lassen (wollen) – “Paturi-Ratten” rechtzeitig zu erkennen, bevor sich deren Verhalten auf den Ruf einer Firma oder die Motivation der Belegschaft negativ auswirken könnte.
