Detecting deception

Granhag, Pär-Anders,1964Gothenburg University,Göteborgs universitet,Psykologiska institutionen,Department of Psychology (author)

In this chapter we examine some of the latest research findings and explore what scientific psychology can tell us about the detection of deception. We focus mainly on research that has been conducted within the framework of psychology and law. First, we define deception and provide an overview of of the different lines of research found within the field. Then we explore the underlying core beliefs that people hold about the cues to deception. Next we focus on people ability to detect deception, and review research on the accuracy of the most commonly used lie detection methods (i.e., speech, physiological, and behavioural analysis). We then turn to objective cues to deception, differentiating the verbal and non-verbal cues that are, to some extent, diagnostic of deception from those that are not. Fi-nally, we examine attempts made to train people to detect deception.
