How To Identity And Address Frequent Lying Among College Students

How To Identity And Address Frequent Lying Among College Students
SHARE

College students often find themselves in situations where they feel the need to lie to their parents, peers, faculty/staff, and even campus counselors. While occasional lies may be common, a consistent pattern of deceit can be indicative of deeper emotional or mental health issues. A study published in the journal Psychiatric Quarterly in 2019 revealed that 18.1% of college students admitted to lying on a daily basis. These students reported lower academic performance, diminished quality of life, and self-esteem, along with negative impacts on their relationships and daily functioning.

When it comes to addressing frequent lying among college students, it’s essential for those providing support to understand the various ways in which students may engage in deceit. One such method is through the use of deceptive apps, which can serve as red flags for underlying issues. Decoy and vault apps, commonly used by adolescents, are also prevalent among college students. These apps can be utilized to hide sensitive information or engage in illicit activities. For instance, fake calculator apps can appear innocent but are actually gateways to hidden content related to gambling, substance use, or cyberbullying. Detecting these deceptive apps may require checking the size of the app in the phone’s settings, as larger sizes could indicate a decoy app.

Additionally, statements with low falsifiability can signal potential dishonesty. Students who consistently make unverifiable claims, such as vague excuses with no concrete evidence, may be engaging in deceptive behavior. Trust is essential, but verifiable statements are more likely to be truthful. Parents and peers should pay attention to the language used by students, as distancing language, such as switching from first-person pronouns to third-person pronouns, could signify a departure from their usual communication style and indicate potential deceit.

While lying is not uncommon among high school and college students, a persistent pattern of dishonesty should not be overlooked. It often points to deeper issues that require attention and support. By being aware of the various ways in which students may lie and understanding the potential underlying reasons, we can better address the mental health needs of college students and provide them with the necessary support to navigate these challenges.
