Developmental psychologist Matthew Gingo joins to discuss his research on morality and deception. Why and under what circumstances do parents and their children lie to one another?

We discuss his paper entitled "What they don't know won't hurt them: Parents' judgments about lying to their adolescents [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jora.12503]", published in the Journal of Research on Adolescence (2019)

Episode 39: Matthew Gingo: Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them

CogNation is a podcast by Rolf Nelson and Joe Hardy, two cognitive psychologists interested in the future of brain science and technology. We explore relevant topics in the areas of cognitive science, technology, AI, and philosophy. Although we dabble with dystopian implications of new technologies (such as the impending robopocalypse), we are led by our curiosity and try to keep it light and fun. https://www.facebook.com/CognationPodcast/ email: cognationpodcast@gmail.com
