However, when assessing socially undesirable behaviors such as dishonesty, self\u2010report is vulnerable to underreporting and positive response bias (\u201cfaking good\u201d). The present study examined whether supernormality, an extreme form of positive response bias, influences self\u2010reported lying behavior. A total of 777 participants completed an online survey assessing supernormality and different dimensions of lying behavior. Based on their scores on the Supernormality Scale\u2010Revised (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SS<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    \u2010R), participants were categorized into a \u201csupernormal group\u201d (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009223, 28.7%) or a \u201ccredible group\u201d (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009554, 71.3%). Group differences across several lying\u2010related outcomes were examined. Compared to the credible group, the supernormal group reported lower lying frequency, greater unwillingness to lie due to negative internal factors (i.e., higher negativity), lower contextuality, and lower relational and antisocial lying. These differences emerged consistently across multiple dimensions of lying, suggesting a systematic shift in responding rather than isolated effects. The findings suggest that extreme positive response bias may extend beyond the underreporting of psychological distress to socially undesirable behaviors such as lying, potentially leading to systematic underestimation in self\u2010report research. Overall, the results highlight the vulnerability of self\u2010report when assessing sensitive behaviors and the importance of accounting for response bias.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sjop.70136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T13:08:32Z","timestamp":1785416912000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Too Good to Be True: Comparing Self\u2010Reported Lying Habits Among Credible and Non\u2010Credible Responders"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2668-3434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natacha","family":"Henriquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Education &amp; Child Studies Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1675-1004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irena","family":"Bo\u0161kovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Education &amp; Child Studies Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy University of Novi Sad  Novi Sad Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3620-7313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rianne","family":"Kok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Education &amp; Child Studies Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6899-4898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruth","family":"Van der Hallen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Education &amp; Child Studies Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2014.07.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/14999013251326582"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12207\u2010024\u201009503\u2010w"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11621\/pir.2020.0107"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.24193\/jebp.2020.2.11"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31234\/osf.io\/jaewt"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/g12010001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1076\/clin.17.2.235.16507"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1556\u20104029.2008.00740.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0249815"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12207\u2010020\u201009387\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022\u20103514.70.5.979"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","volume-title":"BSI 18, Brief Symptom Inventory 18: Administration, Scoring and Procedures Manual","author":"Derogatis L.
