Abstract
This study, conducted among 132 undergraduate students in the USA, confirms the findings of two studies conducted among students in England and Australia that the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Lie Scale contains two empirically distinct components. Component A functions as an index of socially conforming behaviour. Component B produces a purer index of lying or dissimulation less contaminated by social conformity.Keywords
