My main area of research focuses on the detection of deception. So far, I have been involved in research exploring a number of issues including the following:
- Lie detection accuracy and biases of police officers.
- Beliefs about deception cues.
- Judgmental biases in judging veracity caused by deception-detection training or expertise.
- The impact of facial appearance on truthfulness attributions.
- How the time at which observers make their decision influences their veracity judgments.
- The source of truth and lie biases in judging veracity.
- The Behavior Analysis Interview (BAI).
- Liars’ strategies to be convincing.
- Interviewing to detect deception.
- Cognitive models of deception, and theroretical perspectives on lie detection.
- Linguistic deception cues, deception detection in written and transcribed accounts, and the usefulness of the LIWC software to detect deception.
- Verbal credibility assessment: Criteria-based Content Analysis (CBCA) and the Reality Monitoring (RM) approach.
- Verbal and nonverbal cues to deception.
- Contextual deception cues.
- How people detect detection in everyday life.
