Effects of Information Processing Objectives on Judgments of Deception following Perjury.

deTurck, Mark A.; And Others

Communication Research, v16 n3 p434-52 Jun 1989

Examines mock jurors processing testimony under impression-set and memory-set conditions to determine under which condition they rate a witness to be more deceptive. Finds that under impression-set objectives subjects formed stronger judgments of the witness's deceptiveness, while the pattern was reversed under memory-set conditions. (MS)
