Gender and cultural differences in self-deception

The extent to which gender and cultural background interact to influence self-deception was investigated. Four African (Male = 2; Female = 2) and four Malaysian university students (Male = 2; Female = 2) were instructed to submerge their arms and hands in cold water before and after physical exercis...
