The term "misrepresentation" is a broader term lies and deception

In addition, the process of perception of various kinds of misrepresentation affected by the situation in which there is communication, there is an interesting question about the difference of perception of the deception from the chief and the subordinate in the context of business communication.

Another difficulty is clear and understandable distinction between the terms lies, deception and misrepresentation, as well as operationalization more "subtle" types of dishonesty. Most researchers draw the line between lies and deception, however, looking at scientific literature, it is easy to see that not infrequently these terms are mixed. The reason for that, in my opinion, in linguistic difficulties. The term "misrepresentation" is a broader term lies and deception, but the constant use of such bulky structures is problematic and so there are "liars who lie" and "liars who lie". But lies and deception in the psychological research literature describes other ways of introducing misconceptions. For example, Ekman (Ekman, 2003) describes the situation when the communication partner speaks the absolute truth, and in the quantities sufficient for a proper understanding, however, intends to do it in such a manner that the other person comes to the wrong conclusion. Turner (Turner, 1975) examined the so-called "diversionary responses" that mislead the interviewee, deflecting the conversation away from the required information.
