Victoria W. Dykstra; Teena Willoughby; Angela D. Evans – Developmental Science, 2024
While previous studies have demonstrated correlations between children and adolescents' evaluations of lies and lie-telling behaviors, the temporal order of these associations over time and changes across this developmental period remain unexamined. The current study examined longitudinal associations among children and adolescents' (N = 1128;…
