“…Our results further demonstrate that antisocial inmates display reduced electrodermal responding to concealed information. This finding is consistent with the results of two experiments by Waid and colleagues (1979a, 1979b), who also observed reduced skin conductance responding to concealed information in low socialized undergraduates (but see Balloun & Holmes, 1979; Gudjonsson, 1982). Raskin and Hare (1978) noted that lack of responding to concealed information results in a truthful outcome (e.g., a false negative outcome).…”

“…Using skin conductance responses, no differences in detection rate were found between high and low antisocial individuals. In two other studies (Waid, Orne, & Wilson, 1979a, 1979b) undergraduates, half of which had enacted a mock crime, were engaged in a concealed information test. In both studies, the socialization scale of the California Psychological Inventory (Gough, 1956) was administered.…”

Psychopathic traits and autonomic responding to concealed information in a prison sample

We examined the role of psychopathic traits on physiological responding during a concealed information polygraph test among prison inmates (n = 40). The Psychopathic Personality Inventory (Lilienfeld & Andrews, 1996) was used to assess psychopathic traits. Cardiac, electrodermal, and respiratory responses were measured while participants were presented with personal and control names and asked to conceal recognition of personal information. We first piloted the present concealed information test in a sample of undergraduates (n = 27). Enhanced orienting to concealed information compared to control information was observed in both prisoners and undergraduates. However, prisoners scoring high on the Impulsive Antisociality factor of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI-II) exhibited reduced electrodermal responding. This finding indicates that the sensitivity of the concealed information test may be decreased in antisocial offenders.

“…Lykken (1957) found lower overall electrodermal response amplitudes in sociopathic individuals. Later studies found personality traits such as the “level of socialization” (Waid, 1976; Waid et al, 1979; Waid and Orne, 1980, 1981) to be correlated with differential physiological responding in the CIT and the detection of deception in general.…”

Attentional, intentional, and motivational factors are known to influence the physiological responses in a Concealed Information Test (CIT). Although concealing information is essentially a social action closely related to motivation, CIT studies typically rely on testing participants in an environment lacking of social stimuli: subjects interact with a computer while sitting alone in an experimental room. To address this gap, we examined the influence of social stimuli on the physiological responses in a CIT. Seventy-one participants underwent a mock-crime experiment with a modified CIT. In a between-subjects design, subjects were either questioned acoustically by a pre-recorded male voice presented together with a virtual male experimenter’s uniform face or by a text field on the screen, which displayed the question devoid of face and voice. Electrodermal activity (EDA), respiration line length (RLL), phasic heart rate (pHR), and finger pulse waveform length (FPWL) were registered. The Psychopathic Personality Inventory – Revised (PPI-R) was administered in addition. The differential responses of RLL, pHR, and FPWL to probe vs. irrelevant items were greater in the condition with social stimuli than in the text condition; interestingly, the differential responses of EDA did not differ between conditions. No modulatory influence of the PPI-R sum or subscale scores was found. The results emphasize the relevance of social aspects in the process of concealing information and in its detection. Attentional demands as well as the participants’ motivation to avoid detection might be the important links between social stimuli and physiological responses in the CIT.
