The present data are reported in the article “Parenting by Lying in Childhood is Associated with Negative Developmental Outcomes in Adulthood” (Setoh et al., in press). Data were collected using online survey. In this dataset, there are 377 responses from young adults from Singapore who reported on their childhood exposure to parenting by lying, their current deceptive behaviors toward parents, and their psychosocial adjustment. Path analysis was performed to better understand parenting by lying - a prevalent, but under-studied parenting practice.
