“…A complication is an activity or event that someone describes which was not expected or planned (Steller & Köhnken, 1989;Vrij, Leal, et al, 2017). Three examples of complications are (a) "We couldn't stay at his place because he lived in dormitory"; (b) "Two weeks before the competition, I broke my jaw-I do figure skating-and they couldn't find any another person to go to the competition instead of me.…”

SummaryWe examined whether speech-related differences between truth tellers and liars are more profound when answering unexpected questions than when answering expected questions. We also examined whether the presence of an interpreter affected these results. In the experiment, 204 participants from the United States (Hispanic participants only), Russia, and the Republic of Korea were interviewed in their native language by a native-speaking interviewer or by a British interviewer through an interpreter. Truth tellers discussed a trip that they had made during the last 12 months; liars fabricated a story about such a trip. The key dependent variables were the amount of information provided and the proportion of all statements that were complications.The proportion of complications distinguished truth tellers from liars better when answering unexpected than expected questions, but only in interpreter-absent interviews. The number of details provided did not differ between truth tellers and liars or between interpreter-absent and interpreter-present interviews.

“…A complication is a reported activity or event that was not expected or planned ("The event was cancelled due to bad weather"; Steller & Köhnken, 1989;Vrij, Leal, et al, 2017). Complications are more likely to occur in truthful statements than in deceptive statements (Amado, Arce, & Fariña, 2015;Vrij, Fisher, et al, 2017;.…”

“…Most published studies have examined training in techniques whereby statements are judged from recorded videos or transcripts, rather than in real time. For instance, studies using techniques which focus on the verbal content of speech, such as Criterion Based Content Analysis (CBCA; Köhnken & Steller, 1988;Raskin & Esplin, 1991;Steller & Köhnken, 1989;Vrij, 2008) & Reality Monitoring (Alonso-Quecuty, 1992Johnson & Raye, 1981;Sporer, 1997;Vrij et al, 2004;Vrij et al, 2000), result on average in a 70% rate of accurate detection of lies and truths. In fact, accuracy rates range from 65%-90% when the content of a statement is judged by trained individuals (Vrij, 2008).…”

Truth and Deception in Informants' Accounts of Criminal Admissions

Informants who report admissions to crime can be powerful and dangerous players in the criminal justice system. Some informants, such as jailhouse informants, are considered deceitful, in part because they can receive incentives to report criminal admissions. However, little research has examined the nature of information that informants provide. In particular, no recent published research has examined whether there are valid behavioural cues that distinguish deceptive from truthful informants. In addition, no published study to date has explored whether informants' reports and demeanours are affected by the incentives that they receive. Participants in this study either did or did not hear a criminal admission and then were interviewed one week later about details of the admission they had allegedly heard. Some participants were offered an incentive to report the criminal admission in a way that appeared accurate and forthcoming. The results of this study suggest that there may be behavioural cues emitted during the reporting of criminal admissions that distinguish truthful from deceptive informants. However, the direction of differences for some cues may deviate from other types of witnesses to crime. In addition, the findings of this study indicate that being offered an incentive may induce informants to emit cues during the reporting of criminal admissions that make them appear more truthful, regardless of whether or not they are actually telling the truth. The findings of this study raise concerns about whether informants' honesty should be assessed in the same way as other witnesses, and about potentially negative consequences of offering incentives to informants in exchange for their reports of criminal admissions.

“…Based Content Analysis (CBCA), commonly used for statement credibility assessment in Europe, is similarly developed from the strategic and cognitive differences in liars and truth tellers (Steller & Köhnken, 1989). Fourth, Interpersonal deception theory (IDT) examines verbal differences within the context of interpersonal communication, which is based heavily on key differences in the strategic goals of liars and truth tellers (Buller, Burgoon, Buslig, & Roiger, 1994;Buller & Burgoon, 1996).…”

“…Criterion based content analysis (CBCA) was developed by Steller and Köhnken (1989) as a means of statement analysis and is based on the earlier Undeutsch hypothesis (Undeutch, 1967). The Undetsch hypothesis states that because liars are imagining or creating their statements, whereas truth tellers are simply retrieving from memory, their statements will differ in terms of both content and quality.…”
