It is also a more general behavior, observed when people are raised in extremely strict households. They can become very shy of conflicts, and start lying about the smallest things - stuff that regular people wouldn't think twice about lying. Basically - anything that could lead to some sort of conflict, they can lie about, just to avoid. Which is kind of ironic - as people often cite or view strict upbringing as something which will build character and "mature" kids for adult life. But then you see a lot of these kids end up becoming master liars.
