        I can’t make an informed opinion on this without knowing the marital status of the authors’ parents, which may cause my robot brain to overload depending on the answer.

        They miss one possible explanation? That children of divorced parents have a much easier time getting away with their lies, since the parents wont double check with each other. Makes it more likely to turn lying into a habit.

        Interesting for sure. I bet the type of divorce matters too, how the relationship with the respective parents was before and after. A divorce doesn't have to mean a big fallout with lies and self interest reigning supreme. It could be done friendly. Alternatively >>

        the relationship with one parent could be soured by that person's behaviour. Or more tragicly the break couls be caused by the lies of the other one. Either way it may teach the kid(s) that lying does not gain results (even if the kid was lied into reaching that conclusion).
