FOCUS, an English magazine has some very fascinating articles in it.
I have several articles from some time ago.

The lies we tell, page 18
American scientist's findings prove that you really can't trust anyone
Amazingly, 60% of people tell lies in everyday conversation, a psychologist has revealed. When attempting to appear likeable and competent, those that do lie tell two or three fibs every 10 minutes
These are the findings of Robert S. Feldman of the University of Massachusetts, who filmed 121 pairs of students in conversation with one another. The students were told that the researchers were studying how we meet new people, but were secretly filmed instead.
Afterwards, when they watched the footage, the students revealed their porky pies. Lies ranged from falsely agreeing with the other person to pretending to be in a rock band. "Women were more likely to lie to make the person they were talking to feel good, while men lied most often to make themselves look better," explained Feldman. http://www.umass.edu/
