Abstract
Aunque el engaño es ubicuo en las interacciones humanas (incluyendo las relaciones entre profesionales de la salud y pacientes), en la psicología su estudio se ha efectuado por medio de autorreportes o metodologías no experimentales, principalmente, lo que limita la validez de los hallazgos y compromete su generalización. La presente investigación examina las aproximaciones actuales al estudio del engaño por parte de las neurociencias cognitivas, así como por la psicología y la economía experimental. Se subraya el papel que pueden tener los diseños experimentales y la relación de la conducta de engaño con ciertos mecanismos regulatorios del comportamiento para mejorar la validez y generalización de los hallazgos. También se discuten algunas razones por las que el engaño está presente en las interacciones entre los profesionales de la salud y los pacientes, sus causas y consecuencias más evidentes, y algunas de sus manifestaciones psiquiátricas más problemáticas.References
