真相缺省理论认为，说谎的频率在人群中不是正态分布的，大多数谎言都是由少数多产的说谎者说的。一项带有概率样本的调查研究了韩国成年人撒谎的频率。与理论预测和之前来自美国和西欧的有据可查的研究结果一致，韩国人表现出了很少的多产说谎模式。虽然韩国人平均每天撒谎一次或两次（M = 1.48），但分布是倾斜的，众数为零，中位数为1。一半的谎言是由12.4%的受访者说的。妇女和男子的分布情况显示出类似的结果。对谎言的估计也呈现出长尾分布。这些数据增加了对真理默认理论的泛文化支持。
Truth-default Theory proposes that the frequency of lying is not normally distributed across the population and that most lies are told by a few prolific liars. A survey with a probability sample examined the frequency of lying among of adults in South Korea. Consistent with theoretical predictions and well-documented prior findings from the United States and Western Europe, South Koreans showed the few prolific liar pattern. Although South Koreans reported lying on average once or twice per day (M = 1.48), the distribution was skewed with a mode of zero and a median of one. Half of the reported lies were told by just 12.4% of the respondents. Distributions for women and men show similar results. Estimates of lies received also exhibited a long-tail distribution. The data add to the pan-cultural support for truth-default theory.
