Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the probable conditions related to women daily actions that lead them towards telling lies and the way we can categorize and distinguish them. With that in view, three conditions were designed within a theoretical framework to study the women tendency for lying in general and according to their social status (being housewife, employee, or self-employed) in particular. The study was conducted by distributing questionnaires among 260 women residing in region 6, including housewives, employees, and self-employed ones. The finding revealed that the employee women tell lies less than the two other groups, and women generally tell more lies in case of facilitating social relations, as compared with the two other occasions.
