Lying about money and game points by men and women and its relation to the Self-Reported Lying Scale.

Introduction: The present study was designed to examine the effect of monetary and non-monetary endowment on lying by men and women in the Ultimatum Game. Another goal was to examine to what extent the Self-Reported Lying Scale (SRLS), described here for the first time, predicts lying in the Ultimatum Game.

Methods: Examinees (162, 82 women) were allocated to four experimental conditions in a 2 × 2 factorial design.
