Lies are considered one of the most important impression management strategies. This study tested the hypothesis that the greater one's skills in, and concern for, impression manegement are, the more likely one is to lie. Ninety-six university students were asked to rate their willingness to lie in 20 lying episodes in which each depicted a person lying in a specific situation. Skills in and concern for impression management were measured by the Machiavellianism scale, self-monitoring scale, revised self-monitoring scale, concerns for appropriateness scale, and social skills scale. The lying episodes were divided into 6 clusters by a oblique component cluster analysis. The relations between the 6 cluster scores and the scale scores were examined by multiple regression analyses. Results showed that cluster scores had significant correlations with one or some of scale scores in 4 clusters. For instance, Machiavellianism scale scores were positively related to the clusters scores in 2 clusters that comprised situations where lying led to personal benefits.
