The better to fool you with: Deception and self-deception

Current Opinion in Psychology, 2022
Deception is used by plants, animals, and humans to increase their fitness by persuading others of false beliefs that benefit the self, thereby creating evolutionary pressure to detect deception and avoid providing such unearned benefits to others. Self-deception can disrupt detection efforts by eliminating cognitive load and idiosyncratic deceptive ...

Self-deception and self-knowledge

Philosophical Studies, 2011
The aim of this paper is to provide an account of a certain variety of self-deception based on a model of self-knowledge.

Deception and self‐deception in health care

Nursing Philosophy, 2016
AbstractDeception is part of the natural repertoire of adaptive behaviours in many organisms. In humans we see it in all domains of human activity including health care.

Deception and self-deception.

The Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 1928
Deception may be of two sorts, the attempted deceiving of another person, or the attempted deceiving of oneself. Both seem to be possible of achievement and each is distinguished by its own circumstances and its own difficulties. The present communication concerns itself in the main with deception of self.

Self-Deception

2015
This chapter suggests that self-deception evolved to facilitate interpersonal deception by allowing people to avoid the cues of conscious deception that might reveal deceptive intent. Self-deception also eliminates the costly cognitive load that is typically associated with deceiving, and can minimize retribution if the deception is discovered.

On Knowing Self‐Deception

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, 1989
Self-deception looks mysterious and paradoxical because it doesn't seem possible to deceive yourself and be deceived. As the deceiver you have to know that you are hiding something from someone. But as the deceived you cannot know what is hidden, or else you are not deceived. In this work, we will argue that deceiving oneself is not self-contradictory:

Deception and Self-Deception in Shamanism and Psychiatry

International Journal of Social Psychiatry, 1980
The author argues that both shaman and psychiatrist are obliged to use a degree of self- deception in assuming their roles. The shaman must rationalize his use of trickery to impress his patients, and the psychiatrist deceives himself that his psychotherapeutic techniques have specific healing properties in the face of evidence which suggests that he ...
