Psychologists from the University of Massachusetts, United States, Robert S. Feldman found an association between a lie and popularity among students (young people). The study by Robert S. Feldman was published in the latest issue of the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
"We found that lies made by the students actually show that the student has a high capability of social control", says Feldman.

Feldman conducted a study of 32 elderly people in middle and upper level students between the ages of 11 to 16 years, and provides a questionnaire that contains various information about the activities of their children, social relationships, as well as the ability of their children in school. Based on these data, students were grouped into two groups, ie groups that have a low degree of socialization, and groups that have a high degree of socialization.
