Why Do We Lie? A Practical Guide To The Dishonesty Literature (2018, methodology): “In a similar study, Gino et al.

Gender Stereotypes about Women's Ease of Being Misled Predict Negotiator Deception (2014, critical): “Diverging from past research (Dreber & Johannesson, 2008; Kennedy & Kray, 2013; Kray & Haselhuhn, 2012; Lewicki & Robinson, 1998; Robinson et al., 2000), we found no effects of focal negotiator gender on deception.”
Separating Will from Grace: An experiment on conformity and awareness in cheating (2013, background): “Several studies have shown that women are less likely to engage in unethical behavior (see for instance Arlow, 1991; Dreber and Johannesson, 2008; Erat and Gneezy 2011; Kidwell et al., 1987).”

UNDER PRESSURE: GENDER DIFFERENCES IN OUTPUT QUALITY AND QUANTITY UNDER COMPETITION AND TIME CONSTRAINTS (2012, result): “If men tend to lie and overestimate their performance more in the tournament than in the piece-rate treatment, then this would potentially distort the results (see Dreber and Johannesson 2008).”
