“…Second, it is possible that individuals with high attachment anxiety are only sensitive to visual cues but not verbal cues, especially because audio materials without nonverbal information were used in the present study. Previous studies did find that different people would use distinct cues in different situations (Reinhard, 2010;Reinhard, Scharmach, & Sporer, 2012;Reinhard & Sporer, 2008), but more studies are needed to examine these two reasons.…”

Several psychologists have paid attention to individual differences in deception detection, but only a few studies have found significant results. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between attachment anxiety and deception judgment when there are no obvious cues to distinguish lies from truth, and to examine the moderating effect of motives. Participants were instructed to judge each of 10 audios on whether they were true or false. Subsequently, the attachment anxiety of participants was assessed using the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire. Results revealed that, compared with people who had low attachment anxiety, those with high attachment anxiety tend to have higher truth biases in the low-motive condition and lower accuracy in the high-motive condition.

“…As anticipated by Stiff et al (), receivers in familiar situations are able to assess the verisimilitude of the message verbal content—for instance, by comparing verbal content with their knowledge about the situation. However, Reinhard, Scharmach, and Sporer () showed that perceived (and not necessarily real) familiarity is enough for this effect to happen. This questions the notion that the situational familiarity effect is caused by accurate contextual information, although it does not question the more general notion that contextual cues may reveal deception.…”

Research questions the validity of behavioral deception cues; however, people believe behavioral cues are reliable deception indicators. Police officers and community members indicated both how lies can be detected (beliefs), and how they discovered a lie in the past (revealing information). Officers did the latter twice, prompted with a professional versus a personal context. For both groups, beliefs were primarily behavioral (e.g., demeanor) and revealing information contextual (evidence, third-party information, etc.). Officers responded similarly regardless of context. Relative to community members, officers provided more cues and referred more often to verbal contradictions and active detection strategies when asked about beliefs. Practitioners should be made aware of the discrepancies between their beliefs about deception cues and useful information to detect lies.

“…Based on (1), the above discussed theoretical arguments concerning the influence of ego depletion on information processing, and (2) the theoretical assumptions about the influence of more or less intensive information processing on accuracy in judgments of veracity (Reinhard, 2010; Reinhard, Scharmach, & Sporer, 2012; Reinhard & Sporer, 2008), we argue that the state of ego depletion puts constraints on judges’ cognitive resources, which makes it more difficult to consider relevant verbal indicators of deception, thereby restricting classification accuracy (cf. Vrij & Mann, 2004).…”

In two experiments, recent findings showing the detrimental role of regulatory depletion in decision making are extended to the field of deception detection. In both experiments, the state of ego depletion was induced by having judges inhibit versus non-inhibit a dominant response while transcribing a text. Subsequently they judged true or deceptive messages of different stimulus persons with regard to their truthfulness. In both experiments, ego-depleted judges scored significantly lower on detection accuracy than control judges. Signal detection measures showed that this effect was not due to differences in judgmental bias between the two conditions. In Experiment 2, it was shown that the lower detection accuracy in the state of ego depletion was due to a feeling of difficulty of relying on verbal content information. Practical implications of the current findings are discussed.
