“…Together, empirical studies on day-to-day parental lying have identified various correlates, both potential determinants and outcomes, at different levels (i.e., parent, child, and the family context). Setoh et al (2024) provide in their scoping review an overview of research on parenting by lying, specifically. However, following the theoretical and empirical framework described above, we have reason to believe that other forms and types of parental lying, and not only parenting by lying, may be relevant and meaningful in child development, parenting practices and family functioning as well.…”

“…This systematic review was built on the scoping review of Setoh et al (2024) on parenting by lying, one specific type of parental lying. Hence, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current body of literature on parental lying and all its potential manifestations.…”

“…Although empirical research on day-to-day parental lying to children has expanded over the past decades, findings on the prevalence and correlates of parental lying have until now not been systematically synthesized (for a scoping review on parenting by lying, see PARENTAL LYING TO CHILDREN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Setoh et al, 2024). In addition, the studies in this field appear to differ widely in their conceptualization and operationalization of parental lying.…”

Parents lie to their children, for example, to influence children’s behavior and emotions (parenting by lying; Heyman et al., 2009, 2013). The aim of this systematic review was to describe the current scientific literature on parental lying, including its prevalence, correlates, conceptualizations and operationalizations. Through an extensive literature search using PRISMA guidelines, 23 eligible peer-reviewed empirical papers on parental lying have been found. Many parents are found to lie to their children. However, existing research is characterized by a heterogeneous and narrow conceptualization and operationalization of parental lying, and a focus on problems. Following this, the current empirical evidence points mostly towards associations with maladaptive development. Following a critical analysis of the studies, future research should implement broader conceptualizations and operationalizations of parental lying in non-retrospective, experimental or prospective longitudinal research designs on maladaptive and adaptive correlates, to determine the significance of parental lying for children.

Parents lie to their children, for example, to influence children's behavior and emotions (parenting by lying). The aim of this systematic review was to describe the current scientific literature on parental lying, including its prevalence, correlates, conceptualizations, and operationalizations. Through an extensive literature search using PRISMA guidelines, 23 eligible peer‐reviewed empirical papers on parental lying have been found. Many parents are found to lie to their children. However, existing research is characterized by a heterogeneous and narrow conceptualization and operationalization of parental lying, and a focus on problems. Following this, the current empirical evidence points mostly toward associations with maladaptive development. Following a critical analysis of the studies, future research should implement broader conceptualizations and operationalizations of parental lying in non‐retrospective, experimental, or prospective longitudinal research designs on maladaptive and adaptive correlates, to determine the significance of parental lying for children.
