I Swear I'm Honest... Mostly: The Psychology of White Lies
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
In this episode of Get (Social) PSYCHED!, Alexa, Rebecca, Yijun, and Zach dive into the tiny lies we tell every day—those “I’m fine,” “Love your haircut,” “HELL YEAH I’m ready” moments we don’t even think about. From radical honesty to social norms, fundamental attribution error, and cultural influences, we explore why white lies happen even though the truth is technically easier to tell. Are they kindness? Conflict avoidance? Emotional strategy? Join us as we unpack the psychology of white lies… and maybe tell a few along the way.
