Temporal Decay, Reinstatement, and Debiasing of Self-Deception

Self-deception can have positive and negative effects on well-being. We explore the decay of self-deception over time, the reinstatement of self-deception, and the effect of an attentional intervention, across multiple opportunities to cheat and self-deceive. Together, these studies offer insight into how, and particularly when, self-deception can be attenuated.
