Lie Detection

1. How accurate were you at detecting lies in this quiz? (eg. 2 out of 10) 2. One research study suggests that secret service officers possess a superior ability to detect lies (roughly half of the sample in this study reported 70-100% lie detection accuracy rates). Were you as accurate as the individuals in this study? 3. What cues did you use to detect lies or truths (e.g. facial cues, eye movement etc )9 4. Did this interactive activity change/alter your opinion about individuals’ abilities to detect lies? Why or why not? After you post your original response, respond to at least 2-3 of your classmates’ posts. Remember, the purpose is to engage in a fun and critical discussion regarding lie detection abilities. Possible topics to discuss: • Were your detection rates similar or different? Why do you think that’s the case? • Tie cues that your classmates used to detect lies to our class lecture about lie detection. Are these cues typically proven to be helpful at detecting lies? Did you use similar cues in judging these individuals’ statements?
