The students were assigned to one of three conditions describing the reason for needing the extension: (1) the student was not feeling well after drinking too much, (2) the student was recently at the hospital with the flu, or (3) the student was anxious about balancing too much work. The student was able to provide either an honest or deceptive explanation in the attempt to be granted the extension.

Students assigned in condition (1) the student was not feeling well after drinking too much are most likely to provide an honest response.

Explanation:

A normal an common situation among young people is to drink or party, so an honest respond would be that they were drinking instead of studying, and getting ready for the exam. They are not likely to obtain an extension after saying this statement, but it certainly can be an honest one.
