Abstract
The current study cross-sectionally examined daily lie-telling patterns of adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults. Participants (N = 298; Mage = 37.30, SD = 22.51, range = 13–86; 30.5% males) were alerted to complete surveys three times daily about their lie-telling behaviors, including the frequency, the type (self-oriented, other-oriented, or to conform), and the topic of lies told. The frequency of lie-telling was found to significantly differ across age groups suggesting a decrease in lying with age. When examining the types of lies, adolescents and young adults told more self-oriented lies compared to older adults, but no age differences were found for other-oriented lies or lies to conform. The topic of the lie was also found to vary by age, suggesting that age-relevant social goals and contexts may influence lie-telling patterns. Results provide the first comprehensive account of daily lie-telling across adolescence and adulthood.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
