Purpose. The first of two experiments investigated the effect that speaking in a nonnative language has on interviewees' perceptions of their interview experience. A second experiment investigated evaluators' perceptions of the credibility of interviewees who spoke in their native or non-native language.Method. For the first experiment, 52 participants told the truth or lied about their identity during a mock border control interview. All of the participants were interviewed in English, for half of the sample this was their native language, and for the other half of the sample English was not their native tongue. Post-interview, all participants completed a self-report questionnaire relating to their perceptions of their interview experience. For the second experiment, 128 participants evaluated the credibility of interviewees from the first experiment. The modality of presentation of interview clips was varied and included 'Visual and Audio', 'Visual Only', 'Audio Only', and 'Transcript Only'.Results. Non-native speakers were more likely than native speakers to report being nervous and cognitively challenged during their interviews and were more likely to monitor their own behaviour. Overall, evaluators were better able to distinguish between truth tellers and liars who were speaking in their native language than between truth tellers and liars who were non-native speakers. Relative to native speakers, there was a smaller truth bias for evaluations of non-native speakers. When evaluators were considering the non-native speakers, they achieved higher discrimination accuracy when they were exposed to 'Visual Only' or 'Transcript Only' presentations than when they were shown the 'Visual and Audio' or 'Audio Only' interview clips.Conclusions. Self-reported experiences of a mock border control interview differed dependent on whether interviewees were speaking in their native or non-native language. Discrimination accuracy was better for native speakers than it was for non-native speakers and was at its worst when evaluators heard the accents of the non-native speakers.With increasing global threats to security and high levels of migration, border control interviews are commonplace and it is very often the case that interviewees are required to communicate in a language other than their native tongue. The first experiment presented here focuses on the experiences of truthful and lying interviewees who spoke in their

Purpose – The aim of this study is to identify perceptions, attitudes and behavior of young adults concerning wine consumption, using the “theory of planned behavior” as a theoretical framework. Design/methodology/approach – The aim of this study is to identify perceptions, attitudes and behavior of young adults concerning wine consumption, using the “theory of planned behavior” as a theoretical framework. Findings – The major findings are that attitudes and subjective norms are, apparently, the components with most influence on behavior of young people in relation to wine consumption. For the consumers group, attitudes seem to be the most crucial component, especially the “interest in alcohol”. They drink it in special occasions for sociability and to disinhibit. Regarding the non-consumers group, the main attitude is “dislike taste”. Also the subjective norms, are very present, especially parents, society, friends and publicity, in consumers group. The non-consumers have the perception of greater parental induction to not consume wine. No significant differences were found between gender or educational system. Research limitations/implications – Concerning the results, a limited, convenience sample, was employed and this is assumedly an exploratory study. Therefore the results cannot be considered to represent a broad section of the groups studied. Still sample related, only Portuguese young adults students were studied. Social implications – This research can contribute not only for the knowledge relating to Portugal as a wine consuming environment but also to the general area of attitudes and perceptions of young people towards moderate wine consumption. As today young adults, novice or potential wine consumers will be the next generation of wine consumers, it can be beneficial for wine marketers to focus on this target population aiming at exploring further their engagement with wine. Originality/value – This research has an originally approach to wine consumption by young adults once it focus and explore the non-problematic behavior of young adults about wine consumption. The results of this study can contribute to the development of targeted advertising and publicity of the wine industry, in order to promote moderate wine consumption among young adults.
