We excluded participants who indicated non-binary as gender, therefore N = 292 for Study 1 and N = 255 for Study 2. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval for r. Note that all replication items referred to participants’ general lying behavior also apart from their romantic relationship. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001.
