Who can catch a liar?

Abstract: and judges, as well as psychiatrists, college students, and working adults. A videotape showed 10 people who were either lying or telling the truth in describing their feelings. Only the Secret Service performed better than chance, and they were significantly more accurate than all of the other groups. When occupational group was disregarded, it was found that those who were accurate apparently used different behavioral clues and had different skills than those who were inaccurate.

“…Ekman et al 1969). Indeed, facial expressions can be expressed partially or they can be the result of blends that convey different emotions at the same time (Ekman & O'Sullivan 1991). Hence, the facial expressions we commonly encounter are weak, elusive or blended, resulting in a signal that often is ambiguous and requires substantial interpretative work.…”

“…For instance, constraining observers to lift a light or a heavy box affected their perceptual judgments about the weight of objects lifted by another individual (Hamilton et al 2004). Furthermore, it has been proposed that the detection of a conflict between the observed kinematics and the motor pattern that the observers predict through their stored internal model may allow the recognition of deceptive intents in others' behavior (Ekman and O'Sullivan 1991;Bond et al 1992;Wolpert et al 1995;Grèzes et al 2004a).…”

“…It is well established that different covert intentions lead to overt differences in others' movements (Becchio et al 2010;Naish et al 2013;Ansuini et al 2015) and observers are able to pick-up and use these differences to infer the underlying intention (Manera et al 2011;Sartori et al 2011;see Ansuini et al 2015 andCatmur 2015 for a review). Even if in most cases we expect to deal with genuine intentions, interpersonal interactions may require to rely on action observation to understand whether a person is honest or deceitful through careful assessment of the available non-verbal cues (Runeson and Frykholm 1983;Ekman and O'Sullivan 1991;Sebanz and Schiffrar 2009).…”

“…The goal of the interrogation process is to develop the truth." 10 This simple statement captures the spirit that animates Educing Information: Interrogation: Science and Art. The "truth" awaiting development in this case is what we think we know and what we really know about educing information (EI), a politically neutral term that encompasses often highly controversial human intelligence collection activities such as interrogation, strategic debriefi ng, and elicitation.…”

“…At the end of the day, they strengthen its spirit and this strength allows it to overcome its diffi culties. 10 Thus, it is not enough to know whether "coercion works" in interrogation. Interrogation practices that offend ethical concerns and skirt the rule of law may indeed have narrow utilitarian value: It is possible that methods that "shock the conscience" and/or violate international or domestic law are effective in educing information in some situations.…”
