Cues to Deception in an Interview Situation
Harrison, Alberta A.; And Others
Social Psychology, 41, 2, 156-61, Jun 78
Interviewees were secretly instructed to answer six questions honestly and six deceptively. Deceptive answers were hesitant and lengthy. Visual presence of the interviewer increased variability in verbal response time and decreased the length of response. Interviewers were able to discriminate between truth and falsehood. Increased hesitation and increased message length correlated with decreased believability. (Author/CP)
