Question 4

Ben and Vaughn are brothers. Recently, Vaughn was caught lying to their parents. When asked, Ben expressed how surprised he was by saying, "I have been Vaughn's brother for 15 years, so the fact that he actually stole our neighbor's roses shocks me." Why type of familiarity from Interpersonal Deception Theory best explains why Ben was so surprised?

A) Behavioral familiarity
B) Relational familiarity
C) Familial familiarity
D) Expectation familiarity

Accepted Answer

Relational familiarity explains Ben's surprise because it refers to the understanding and expectations developed through a close relationship, such as that between siblings. Ben's long-term relationship with Vaughn led him to believe he knew his brother well enough to not expect such behavior.
