“…Empirical research has supported this premise, and methods to encourage interviewees to say more discussed in the training include the use of (1) a model statement (playing the participant a very detailed statement as an example) (Leal et al ., ); (2) a supportive interviewer (e.g. Mann et al ., ; Shaw, Vrij, Mann, Leal, & Hillman, ); (3) deliberate mimicry of the interviewee (Shaw et al ., ); and (4) drawings (e.g. Roos af Hjelmsäter, Öhman, Granhag, & Vrij, ; Vrij et al ., ()).…”

A training workshop utilising recent research in cognitive lie detection was designed and evaluated. A unique future of the training was that a practitioner (retired police detective) instead of scientists (e.g. the training developers) introduced the techniques. To evaluate the training, 27 experienced police detectives each interviewed one mock suspect (a truth teller or liar) before training, and another group of 23 experienced police detectives interviewed one mock suspect (a truth teller or liar) after training. The police detectives were free to interview the mock suspect in any way they felt appropriate, but those who had received training were asked to try to incorporate (some of) the taught techniques in their interviews. The detectives made veracity judgements, and the interviews were transcribed and coded for the amount of detail elicited and the questions asked. Training had a modest effect on the ability to distinguish between truths and lies but resulted in a higher percentage of appropriate questions asked. Trainees did not implement the taught techniques to an equal extent, but when they did, the techniques enhanced the elicitation of information. The training study also revealed challenges, particularly difficulty in implementing the taught techniques into practice and asking the right questions to elicit differences in detail between truth tellers and liars.

“…They may wish to avoid possible questions the mime artist will ask or they may simply not be in a chatty and cooperative mood. Liars often experience a more negative effect than truth tellers and this could make them more reluctant to engage in conversations (DePaulo et al, 2003;Mann et al, 2013;. The same reasons may also make liars reluctant to show photographs if asked.…”

When planning large-scale incidents or bombing campaigns, terrorists often conduct reconnaissance research to identify key targets. This may include taking photographs of potential target locations. Identifying an effective real-time method to distinguish between genuine photographers and those with more sinister intent may be beneficial for law enforcement and security agencies. Participants took photographs in a public place with a genuine intent (truth tellers) or sinister intent (liars). After taking these photographs, the participants were approached by an undercover interviewer (a mime artist) who asked them whether he could see the photographs. Later, the participants discussed their photographs in a formal interview. First, liars were less cooperative in their interaction with the undercover interviewer than truth tellers. Second, in the formal interview, liars mentioned some security features that appeared in the photographs more than truth tellers. The findings suggest that 'using photographs to detect deception' is a subject that could prove important to explore to benefit forensic and counter-terrorist practice.

“…The usage of multiple interviewers is a strongly advised approach to elicit meaningful responses from the interviewee and to detect inconsistencies and digressions better during the interview and respond to it (Kincaid and Bright, 1957;Huber and Power, 1985;Mann et al, 2013). Verbatim interview transcripts were produced by a professional third-party service to establish the phenomena in a credible way (Griggs, 1987;Riege, 2003).…”

a b s t r a c tThe purpose of this research is to identify the decision process Chinese subsidiaries of multinational enterprises follow to develop and deploy a climate change strategy. These foreign subsidiaries have to be responsive to local institutional and economic demands as well as to the directives from their headquarters. Our findings suggests that considering and developing climate change strategies is a multistage process that alternates between managerial cognition and capabilities and is most effective when locally embedded. The foreign subsidiary develops its own understanding of climate change and an adequate response rather than follows headquarter directives. This allows the subsidiary to be at the adaptation forefront and, potentially, influence the global network of the multinational enterprise. The process can be stopped when cognition, capabilities or both are not developed or realised.
