Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Forensic Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Pathological lying lacks professional consensus on etiology, treatment, and prognosis.
  • Distinguishing normal from pathological lying is crucial for clinical and forensic contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the differences between normal and pathological lying.
  • To explore psychological and biological factors contributing to pathological lying.
  • To discuss the forensic significance and relationship with mental disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and theoretical analysis.
  • Exploration of psychological mechanisms.
  • Discussion of biological factors and forensic implications.

Main Results:

  • Lying is a heterogeneous, multidimensional behavioral pattern.
  • Pathological lying presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Forensic significance varies between normal and pathological lying.

Conclusions:

  • Pathological lying requires further research into its etiology and effective interventions.
  • Assessment should include patient's control, function, insight, and impact on daily life.
  • Recognizing lying as a complex behavior is essential for accurate evaluation.
