“…An actor is concerned with the face of the other because he has helped to create other's self image (Rose, 1969). The actor has invested a part of himself in the other, he has identified himself with the other (Goffman, 1967:10).…”

This exploratory research in the sociology of talk is focused on three questions for analysis: (1) One hundred and thirty (130) dyadic encounters were recorded and analyzed; the "actor" is the respondent and the "other" is the person with whom actor has the conversation. An analysis of these encounters revealed that nearly two-thirds of the 870 instances of verbal communications were talk which controlled information. Frequency tables and typologies delineate (1) forms of information control and (2) reasons for information control.Although most codes of ethics, religious canons, and humanitarian ideals deprecate deception in whatever form, conversations in everyday life are noticeably characterized by forms of deceit ranging from "white lies" to exploitative prevarication. Analysis of dyadic conversations shows that not only are forms of deception frequently employed, they are necessary, even mandatory discursive elements. In everyday conversations, honesty is not always the best policy.

The effect of social role on theory of mind reasoning

The aim of this project was to explore the effects of social status on Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning. Neurologically normal adults' ToM performance was manipulated experimentally by temporarily putting them in a higher or lower status condition. Half the participants 'won' a mock competition and subsequently acted as instructor and evaluator. The other half 'lost' and subsequently acted as learner. Participants then completed ToM and control tasks including embedded false belief tasks and cartoon comprehension tasks. The hypothesis tested was that social role manipulation could affect performance on ToM tasks independently of any effect on control tasks. Results show an interaction between assigned status and task type. That performance on theory of mind tasks can vary independently of performance on matched control tasks is consistent with the idea that ToM reasoning can change as a result of a change in social status.

“…They find the acted out disclaimers puzzling and even unintelligible. This is what some writers have referred to as the privilege of insensitivity enjoyed by people in power (Thomas et al, 1972;Rose, 1969). Furthermore, many honest people in department stores, who would never think of shoplifting tell us in interviews of the ends to which they go, for example, keeping their hands out of their pockets, not taking shopping bags into stores, avoiding the area of an unattended counter, not leaving the store in too great a hurry, etc.…”

Disclaimer mannerisms of students: How to avoid being labelled as cheaters

Là où l'on trouve une règle, on trouve aussi des gens qui seront tentés de l'enfreindre. Or, on court toujours le risque de se faire qualifier de «déviant,» qu'on enfreint les règles ou non. Les examens d'université sont des événements hyper-réglementés où règne une atmosphère chargée de soupçons dans laquelle des moniteurs sont à l'affût du moindre geste, tels des sentinelles prêtes à surprendre le tricheur à l'oeuvre. Conscients des enjeux, les étudiants doivent éviter tout signe suspect et se protéger contre les conséquences extrêmement graves d'une accusation de tricherie. Les stratégies d'évitement consistent à «gérer» les impressions en opposant des dénégations aux regards soupçonneux. Les auteurs décrivent les comportements bizarres et apparemment paranoïaques adoptés par les étudiants lorsqu'ils passent leurs examens pour qu'on ne les prennent pas pour des tricheurs: le détournement du regard, le déploiement des livres et des notes, le choix de l'emplacement dans la salle ... Tout en s'intéressant plus particulièrement aux non-tricheurs innocents, la communication commente brièvement le cas des personnes effectivement coupables.Wherever there are rules there will be temptations for people to break them. Consequently, there is always the possibility of people being labelled deviant whether or not they do break the rules. University examinations are rule-riddled events shrouded in a 'suspicion awareness context' where suspecting invigilators are on guard against possible cheaters. Students, aware of this, must avoid all taint of suspicion and the dire consequences of being labelled a cheater. These avoidance strategies consist of impression management in the form of disclaimers. It is the purpose of this article to describe the bizarre and seemingly paranoid length students writing exams go to in: the control of their eyes, deployment of books and notes, and choice of space to avoid the stigma of being labelled a cheater. The emphasis is primarily on the innocent noncheaters but there is brief treatment also of the guilty.We thank D. Rennie, the editor and anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments and suggestions. This manuscript was
