Deception detection and forensic psychology Psychological Testing and Assessment Emotion and Mood Recognition

Abstract

A study was conducted to identify codes of nonverbal behavior which could be used by interviewers in a standard field interview to systematically assess deception and emotional states of respondents. Ten male and 10 female subjects were interviewed on topics that had been pretested to arouse in them pleasant involvement, passivity, and unpleasant involvement. Subjects were also instructed to lie to the interviewer on issues of importance to them. Eye contact was measured by observation through a one‐way mirror. Smiles, gestures, self‐manipulations and postural shifts were scored from videotapes of the interview. The most distinctive patterns of nonverbal cues occurred with unpleasant‐involvement and deception questions. The former state was characterized by increases in smiling, self‐manipulations, and postural shifts. Deception responses were marked by decreases in smiling and increases in self‐manipulations and postural shifts. Results also suggested that eye contact functioned as an intensifier of affect.
