The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of children's and adolescents' social lie as a criterion of sociomorality. At this study, the Kohlberg's and Hoffmans's theories of morality, the neo- Kohlbergian or revisionist view and an integration of these theories were reviewed and discussed. In particular, theories and researches on social lie were discussed in a view of cognitive- and socio-cognitive aspects. Further research was also suggested.
