Deeb, H., Evans, J., & Vrij, A. Contextualizing interviews to detect verbal cues to truth and deceit. Frontiers in Psychology, 14, 1300160.
Frontiers in Psychology today released a special issue about verbal cues that can indicate whether someone is lying or telling the truth. It includes empirical studies, surveys, reviews, and opinions from different perspectives and contexts.
The editorial focuses on the role of contextual factors for detecting deception -- factors like culture, language, clinical conditions, interview methods, and content knowledge. Researchers have different perspectives about how context should be used to inform lie detection, with some mostly sidelining cues over context while others providing evidence that some verbal cues are stable across different contexts.
People here know that context is necessary for sorting scum, but our use of context is often kind of interpretive, hand-wavey, and can reduce to gut checks. It'd be useful to try systematizing a little.
