Deception research regarding insurance claims is rare but relevant given the financial loss in terms of fraud. In S tudy 1, a field study large multinational fraud detection company, truth telling mock claimants ( N = 19) and lying 21) were interviewed by company telephone operators. These operators classified correctly only 50% these truthful claimants, their task was particularly challenging: Claimants said little, deceptive statements did not differ quality (measured with Criteria‐Based...
The self-concept maintenance theory holds that many people will cheat in order to maximize self-profit, but only the extent they can do so while maintaining a positive self-concept. Mazar, Amir, and Ariely (2008, Experiment 1) gave participants an opportunity incentive on problem-solving task. Prior task, either recalled Ten Commandments (a moral reminder) or 10 books had read high school neutral task). Results were consistent with theory. When given cheat, moral-reminder priming task...
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce increase emotions, we tested the effectiveness reappraisal, an emotion regulation strategy which modifies how one thinks about situation. Participants from 87 countries/regions (N = 21,644) were randomly assigned to two brief reappraisal interventions (reconstrual or repurposing) control conditions (active...
We tested the accuracy of thermal imaging as a lie detection tool in airport screening. Fifty-one passengers an international departure hall told truth or lied about their forthcoming trip interview. Their skin temperature was recorded via camera. Liars' rose significantly during interview, whereas tellers' remained constant. On basis these different patterns, 64% tellers and 69% liars were classified correctly. The interviewers made veracity judgements independently from recordings....
Srull and Wyer (1979) demonstrated that exposing participants to more hostility-related stimuli caused them subsequently interpret ambiguous behaviors as hostile. In their Experiment 1, descrambled sets of words form sentences. one condition, 80% the sentences described hostile behaviors, in another 20% behaviors. Following descrambling task, all read a vignette about man named Donald who behaved an ambiguously manner then rated him on set personality traits. Next, hostility various (all...
Deception is a multi-faceted social behaviour that pervasive in human communication. Due to differences communication and experiences, autistic non-autistic adults may contrast how they respond situations elicit deceptive decision-making. This study examined whether differed their general lie frequency, inclination produce different types, emotional experiences of lying. Fifty-eight fifty-six university students matched on age gender completed self-report measures lying patterns, often lied...
Summary Research into lying about intentions is relatively new. Studies have suggested that can be detected with statement analysing methods. This article describes two experiments. The first experiment investigates how much spatial and temporal detail given by people who are discussing a true or false intention in 26‐question interview. results showed those gave more details. second examines these details one‐question interview whether the amount of manipulated phrasing question. lower...
Abstract We examined the application of verifiability approach to insurance claim interviews. The states that truth tellers and liars differ from each other in terms number details they give can be verified. Eighty‐three true false statements, related damage, theft, or loss, were coded ‘witnesses’ (was incident witnessed by others) ‘verifiability’ (the perceptual contextual provided could checked investigator). found majority liars, compared with half tellers, described unwitnessed...
Compared to other Western countries, malingering research is still relatively scarce in the United Kingdom, partly because only a few brief and easy-to-use symptom validity tests (SVTs) have been validated for use with British test-takers. This online study examined of Inventory Problems-29 (IOP-29) detecting feigned schizophrenia random responding 151 volunteers. Each participant took three IOP-29 test administrations: (a) honestly; (b) pretending suffer from schizophrenia; (c) at random....
Previous research suggests that lie detection can be improved by asking the interviewee unexpected questions. The present experiment investigates effect of two types questions: background questions and detail questions, on detecting lies about topics with which is (a) familiar or (b) unfamiliar. In this experiment, 66 participants read interviews in interviewees answered either truthfully deceptively. Those who deceptively could lying a topic they were unfamiliar with. asked to judge whether...
Abstract In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies examine effects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions affective measures. The data collected (April October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining health prevention behaviors experience, geographical cultural context characterization,...
In this article, we hypothesized that in order to feign mental illness, one would need have empathy and be able understand other’s states. To test hypothesis, asked 432 healthy volunteers depression, PTSD or schizophrenia while completing a self-report measures the severity of feigned condition’s symptoms Inventory Problems − 29 (IOP-29). Additionally, all participants were administered theory mind (ToM) task an measure with request respond truthfully. Results from series linear regression...
Pairs of liars and pairs truth tellers were interviewed the amount eye contact they made with interviewer each other was coded. Given that take their credibility less for granted than tellers, we expected to monitor see whether being believed, try harder convince telling truth. It hypothesised this monitoring would manifest itself through more in case tellers. A total 43 participants took part experiment. Truth had lunch a nearby restaurant. Liars some money from purse, asked pretend instead...
Purpose Unexpected questions have been shown to increase cues deception, without reducing the information given by truth tellers. Two studies investigated whether detail an interviewee is affected expected or unexpected are asked first. Methods In Study 1, participants ( N = 85) were interviewed about their own intentions, and in 2, 84) intention experimenter. They then interviewed. Results showed that both studies, differences between expected‐first unexpected‐first order minimal lie...
Abstract Research on malingering detection has not yet taken full advantage of eye tracking technology. In particular, while several studies indicate that patients with schizophrenia behave notably differently from controls specific oculomotor tasks, no study investigated whether experimental participants instructed to feign could reproduce those behaviors, if coached do so. Due the automatic nature movements, we anticipated analyses would help detect feigned schizophrenic problems. To test...
In this paper, we describe four studies that explore how individual differences in Episodic Future Thought (EFT) affect the ability to be perceived as credible, both when telling truth and lying. Study 1a, measured participants EFT asked them give a truthful deceptive statement about their intentions. It was found statements provided by individuals with higher showed several characteristics associated credibility (including length level of detail) than lower ability. 1b lying, but not truth,...
Verbal deception detection has gained momentum as a technique to tell truth-tellers from liars. At the same time, researchers' degrees of freedom make it hard assess robustness effects. Replication research can help evaluate how reproducible an effect is. We present first replication in verbal whereby ferry passengers were instructed truth or lie about their travel plans. The original study found include more specific time references answers. that closely mimicked setting, procedure,...
Purpose: Truthful statements are theorized to be richer in perceptual and contextual detail than deceptive statements. The level of can coded by humans or computers, with human coding argued superior. Direct comparisons automated coding, however, rare.Methods: We applied automatic identification details the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) software on truthful from four datasets that had been manually for details.Results: noted common way scoring manual LIWC hampers a direct comparison...
