“…Pharmacists and laypersons both found false indicators of deception to be more suspicious than reliable indicators. This suggests that both groups hold stereotypical beliefs shown in the literature, such as gaze aversion and restlessness (Davis and Markus, 2006;Sporer and Schwandt, 2007;The Global Deception Research Team, 2006;Vrij and Semin, 1996), and that their expertise in the field does not equate to avoidance of incorrect indicators. Indeed, pharmacists actually held slightly more stereotypical beliefs than did laypersons, as evidenced by the failure to support hypothesis 3; with laypersons exhibiting more accurate deception detection knowledge than pharmacists.…”

“…Indeed, most people tend to overstate their ability, so when confidence exceeds accuracy, more weight is placed on unreliable indicators that the observer assumes are indicative of deception (Davis and Markus, 2006;DePaulo et al, 1997).…”

“…For example, a simple countermeasure to the belief that gaze aversion is a deception indicator would be to control eye contact. Alongside gaze aversion, other indicators associated with guilt and anxiety that have been shown to be unreliable for deception detection include 'um' and 'uh' filled pauses in speech (Walczyk et al, 2003), shoulder shrugs, selftouching (Davis and Markus, 2006;Stromwall and Granhag, 2003;The Global Deception Research Team, 2006;Vrij and Semin, 1996), nervousness (The Global Deception Research Team, 2006) and smiling (Vrij and Semin, 1996).…”

Prescription fraud: A comparison of pharmacists' and laypersons' perceptions of suspicious prescription presentation behaviour

Australia has seen an increase in the abuse of prescription drugs, including obtaining them through prescription fraud. As the gate-keepers to medications, pharmacists have the opportunity to assess the veracity of prescriptions and those presenting them. The present study investigated how pharmacists detect deception in the context of prescription fraud, and whether their experience affects their levels of suspicion compared with non-experienced laypersons. An online survey was completed by 43 pharmacists and 110 laypersons. Pharmacists reported using a variety of methods to detect fraudulent prescriptions. When faced with indicators of drug use, as well as both reliable and unreliable indicators of deception (as determined from the literature), pharmacists were generally more suspicious than laypersons of all and more suspicious than laypersons of a hypothetical person displaying 'true' indicators of deception. However, both groups were misled by unreliable deception cues, and laypersons actually demonstrated more knowledge of deception cues than pharmacists.

“…In the history of DMT, methods of movement observation and analysis have been used for precisely this purpose; they allow one to understand, classify, and interpret human movement (Davis & Markus, 2006;Levy, 2005). Used together, observation, analysis, and interpretation enhance the ability to provide therapeutic insight (Specktor, 2015).…”

Background: In looking at the history of dance movement therapy (DMT), three stages of professional focus are identified: Emotional body/movement; verbal processing as it relates to body/movement; and movement analysis and observation tools. Models of supervision for young DMT therapists appear to have paralleled two of these stages, and not the third. This article aims to address a need in the field of DMT in the area of therapist-supervision. Sources of Evidence: A literature review covering the history of DMT, and the existing supervision models in DMT and their effects, provides support for the author's argument. Main Argument: The author proposes to parallel the third stage of focus in DMT's development. Namely, it suggests integrating movement-analysis and observation tools into the existing models of supervision. While many existing models benefit from experience-based supervision, there is a need for a professional distance from the supervision material. This could be achieved by using methods of movement observation and analysis, developed in the field of DMT. One of these methods would be combined with the experiential aspects of supervision, and thus provide both inner understanding, and outer perspective, leading to greater therapeutic insight. Conclusions: This article is of importance to DMT supervisors and therapists, as well as to other professionals who view supervision as an integral part of training. It clarifies the importance of structured analysis approaches when using verbal and nonverbal work in supervision, to create an appropriate distance from the supervision material.

“…Differences in performance accuracy between presentation modalities may be attributed to the fact that when visual information is available, observers rely most heavily on nonverbal behaviours and are particularly drawn to stereotypical cues to deception (e.g., gaze aversion and fidgeting) to guide their deception judgments [26,29,[36][37][38][39]. Given the body of evidence showing that these cues are not indicative of deceit [40], it is unsurprising that judgments made on this basis are less accurate than those in response to vignettes where these potentially distracting cues are unavailable.…”

The Impact of Presentation Modality on Perceptions of Truthful and Deceptive Confessions

This study examined the impact of presentation modality and the effectiveness of direct and indirect measures of deception to distinguish truthful from deceptive confessions. Confession statements were presented in one of three formats: audiovisual, audio-only, or written text. Forty-six observers classified each statement as true or false and provided ratings of confidence, information sufficiency, perceived cognitive load, and suspiciousness. Compared to audio and written confessions, exposure to audiovisual recordings yielded significantly lower accuracy rates for direct veracity judgements, with below chance level performance. There was no evidence that indirect measures assisted observers in discriminating truthful from deceptive confessions. Overall, observers showed a strong bias to believe confessions with poor detection rates for false statements. Reliance on video recordings to assess the veracity of confession evidence is unlikely to reduce wrongful convictions arising from false confessions.
