【 摘 要 】

Research on the detection of lies and deceit has a prominent place in the field of psychology andlaw with a substantial research literature published in this field of inquiry during the last five to sixdecades (Vrij, 2000, 2008; Vrij et al., 2019). There are good reasons for this interest in lie detection.We are all everyday liars, some of us more prolific than others, we lie in personal and professionalrelationships (Serota et al., 2010; Halevy et al., 2014; Serota and Levine, 2015; Verigin et al., 2019),and lying in public by politicians and other public figures has a long and continuing history (Peters,2015). However, despite the personal problems that serious everyday lies may cause and the humantragedies political lies may cause, it is lying in court that appears to have been the principal initialmotivation for the scientific interest in lie detection.
