科學(xué)60秒:千謊百計
When you think of someone who’s trusting, you may assume that they’re [--1--]. But that’s not necessarily true—a fact that your Pollyanna pal might be in a good position to point out. Because people who have faith in their fellow human beings are actually good at spotting lies. The finding is described in the journal Social Psychological & Personality Science.
Researchers [--2--] a cadre of second-year MBA students as they pretended to interview for a job. Half the interviewees were entirely truthful, and half told at least three [--3--], lies they thought would make them more attractive candidates for the fake job.
The scientists then showed these videos to a second set of subjects and asked them to rate the honesty of the interviewees and say which ones they’d hire. The results: subjects who said they think that most people are basically honest, good-natured, and kind were better at spotting the liars than the [--4--]. Subjects who were more suspicious were, ironically, more likely to hire the liars and less likely to [--5--].
So trust may lend itself to better interpersonal intuition. And if you don’t believe that, well, maybe you’re just not being honest with yourself.
