• The relation between antisocial personality and the perceived ability to deceive (2013, background): “Interestingly, McLeod and Genereux (2008) found that Machiavellianism was a significant predictor of telling a lie for self-gain, but not for telling an altruistic lie, a lie to avoid conflict, or a lie for social acceptance.”
• Lies and crimes: Dark Triad, misconduct, and high-stakes deception (2016, background): “Machiavellianism has been shown to be a strong predictor of self-serving lies (McLeod & Genereux, 2008), and Machiavellian individuals have been found to be more skilled at telling lies (DePaulo & Rosenthal, 1979; Geis & Moon, 1981).”
