“…Notably, beyond its use as a mere proxy of cognitive control, difficulties in emotion regulation might impact lying in another way, as the engagement in deception might be dependent on one's ability to cope with the emotional states related to lying (e.g., stress) and its consequences (e.g., guilt or shame) (Arndt, Hoglund, & Fujiwara, 2013;Carlson & Wang, 2007). Related to this emotional component of deception, we also included a measure of interoception (the sensitivity to internal signals and bodily states; Garfinkel, Seth, Barrett, Suzuki, & Critchley, 2015;Füstös, Gramann, Herbert, & Pollatos, 2012;Kever, Pollatos, Vermeulen, & Grynberg, 2015), -itself directly involved in cognitive control (Azevedo, Garfinkel, Critchley, & Tsakiris, 2017;Makowski et al, 2019d), to delineate the possible role of sensitivity and regulation of bodily reactions. Critically, due to the inherent nature of the measured construct, we also expect a strong relationship with social desirability.…”
