Step 2 Listening script

Interviewer:  Good evening to all our listeners. With me in the studio is John Lyons, a psychologist with a    special interest in the truth and lies. Welcome, John.

John: Thank you.

Interviewer: Perhaps you could start by explaining what white lies are

John: OK, well….white lies are small lies you tell to protect other people.We all tell white lies from time   to time.For example, have you ever said you think certain food tastes nice, even when you think it   is horrible?

Interviewer:  Um...yes.

John: This is a white lie. We tell these kinds oflies to avoid hurting people's feelings. Last week a friend   asked me, “Do you like my new haircut?” Instead ofsaying what I really thought I said,“Yes,   it looks really lovely.”I didn't want her to be upset, because I care about her These kinds of    white lies also help strengthen relationships because they protect the people who are important to   us.

Interviewer:  Is telling white lies always a good thing to do?

John: No. Although people tell white lies with good intentions, white lies are not without their problems.   They may cause unexpected embarrassment or trouble for the people being lied to. Suppose your   friend is dressed too formally for an informal party but you tell her out ofkindness that you think   she looks perfect. She takes it seriously, goes to the party and realizes that she is dressed     improperly. How embarrassed she would feel!

Interviewer: So well-meaning lies may also cause harm to people.

John: Exactly. What's more,as with any lie,there's always a risk that people being told a white lie will   find out the truth.This could lead to a crisis oftrust as they may start to wonder what other lies you   have told them.

Interviewer: Thank you, John. I'm being honest when I say that was very interesting.
