Rodriguez and Wise found that college students were more likely to send deceptive text messages to friends and family than to strangers. They also found that students used text messaging as a means of deception fairly often, proving false the idea that the medium is rarely used for lying. The study did not address the use of deceptive Facebook messages, nor did it look at how easy it was to detect untrue text messages based on how honest a person is perceived to be.
