Woman’s Day/AOL Living Survey Finds 75% of Respondents Would Snoop Through Their Child’s E-mail or Cell Phone

Survey Also Finds Less Than Half of Those Surveyed Consider Themselves to be Very Honest

New York, NY . – An overwhelming majority of survey respondents admit they would snoop through their child’s (75%) and husband’s (67%) e-mail or cell phone, according to a new Woman’s Day/AOL Living Honesty Poll. The poll also revealed that only 48% of those surveyed consider themselves to be very honest in their daily life. The complete Honesty Poll results are featured in the October issue of Woman’s Day magazine, which hits newsstands today.

“We were surprised by some of these findings,” said Jane Chesnutt, Editor-in-Chief of Woman’s Day magazine. “Certain things are clearly black and white, but there are a lot of grey areas. It’s clear that what’s honest to one person is often dishonest to another--and vice versa"

Here are some additional highlighted findings from the Woman’s Day, http://www.womansday.com, and AOL Living, http://www.living.aol.com, Honesty Poll:
