Moreover, 31.2% of 6–7-year-olds were more likely to tell white lies than 13.8% of 10–11-year-olds, and the χ 2 test confirmed that this age difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 6.95, df = 2, p < 0.05), indicating a decreasing trend in white lie behavior as age increases in the target expectation scenario.
