“…On the one hand, this is due to the fact that milder cases often remain unnoticed [ 38 ], and on the other, in several studies, a long lie was just recorded as such after a lying time of at least one hour [ 2 , 6 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 37 , 38 ]. However, most studies refuse to terminate the long lie with a fixed time [ 9 – 11 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 29 , 31 – 35 , 39 , 40 ]. This makes sense for two reasons: (1) Lying time is measured either by self-report or by last-seen wells, which for various reasons leads to over- or underestimated immobility time and a high level of misreporting [ 20 – 22 , 26 – 30 , 32 , 34 – 36 , 38 , 39 , 41 ]; (2) The consequences significantly improve with increasing lying time, but they can already occur in less than one hour [ 27 , 28 , 30 , 34 – 36 , 38 , 39 , 41 ].…”
