What Would You Say?

You appear to be one of those people who are more reserved and who find it harder to open one-selves up to other people. The fear of embarrassment and similar emotions tend to have a stronger impact on you. 

The afore-described scenario is based on experiments some psychologists conducted. They found that the participants who performed the silly task and was paid $1 for it were more likely to say that the test was "all right" or "OK." This compares to those who performed the same task but was paid $20 for their trouble - these people were more likely to report that the test was "really stupid." In other words, because the gap between $1 and the task performed was so much wider than that between $20 and the same task, the people who were paid $1 found it much harder to overcome their feeling of embarrassment; to save themselves from looking foolish, more of them chose not to tell it as it was. So in may cases lying is not a clear rational decision but an emotional response.
