Lies and falsehoods play an important role in our lives, be they lies told in everyday conversation or false information spread on social media websites. But when exactly do people consider a statement to be an instance of lying, or to be false, and do these judgments differ between cultures? In the present article, we shed new light on these questions by examining to what extent implicit content affects judgments of lying and falsity. Three thousand six hundred sixty participants from 10 countries (Chile, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States) were presented with deceptive implicatures-that is, utterances that are literally true but implicitly convey false information-and were then asked whether each speaker lied and whether something true or false was said. Our results show that implicit content plays an important role in people's judgments, leading certain utterances to be judged as lies or false even when they are explicitly true. Most strikingly, the result patterns were highly similar across countries. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

Drawing on the cultural legacy of Africa and its diaspora, this article takes an emic, transnational approach to articulate collective Black consciousness (CBC)-an emerging culturally rooted theory of sociopolitical consciousness grounded not only in the necessity of Black resistance, but also in the joys and love for Black people's existence. CBC is a multidimensional theory created by the authors. This theory demonstrates the ways of thinking, knowing, feeling, and being that have allowed Black people globally to strive toward collective growth, love, and joy as they fight for a more liberated reality for themselves and the world. In this article, we trace the historical and theoretical foundations that shape our formation and conceptualization of CBC and define its dimensions: Black liberatory practices, sociopolitical transcendence, radical Black love, collective Black knowledge, and collective Black wisdom. We conclude by discussing the significance and implications of our theory for decolonial research, clinical practice, and community organizing.

Memorializes Guillermo Bernal (1949-2025). Bernal was a distinguished clinical psychologist whose work shaped culturally grounded research, training, and practice in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond. For 3 decades at the University of Puerto Rico, he served as professor, mentor, and program builder-roles through which he guided generations of psychologists and elevated the visibility of Caribbean-based scholarship. One of Guillermo's most enduring legacies was his extraordinary commitment to mentoring. He developed innovative programs, such as Career Opportunities in Research, that provided students with their first opportunities in research and academic publishing. His approach encouraged students to question structures of power while embracing cultural knowledge and community responsibility. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
