Pinocchio Effect = When we lie, the tissue in our nose swells, causing it to itch. You can often catch people briefly touching their nose after a lie.

Cecilia Moisio about Pinocchio Effect
“With Pinocchio Effect, I want to show that we all think we are not lying, but that lying is actually human behavior that everyone exhibits. I want to discuss the effects of lying. How, for example, lies from parents can have a major impact on the social-emotional development of children. I also want to talk about the moral question: what is a good lie and what is a bad one? Why shouldn't we lie? Can you lie too much -- for example, when your entire identity is made up? Social media influencers make money with the perfect image; everything looks nice and polished. But can a lie also be positive, something beautiful?”
