Title: Detection of Deception: Polygraph and Integrity Tests.
Authors: Saxe, Leonard
Source: Current Directions in Psychological Science. Jun94, Vol. 3 Issue 3, p69-73. 5p.
Subjects: Deception, Lie detectors & detection, Honesty, Reliability (Personality trait), Cross-examination, Truthfulness & falsehood, Integrity
Abstract: The article assesses the status of tests of deception and honesty and considers the potential for developing psychometrically sound evaluations of these constructs. The focus is on the two most widely used forms of honesty testing, physiological tests i.e. polygraphs and paper-and-pencil attitude, behavior, and personality scales i.e. integrity tests. The most common form of polygraph testing is the control question test (CQT). A CQT involves comparison of arousal to relevant questions. Another type of polygraph test involves comparisons of relevant questions with irrelevant questions. This procedure is used to screen individuals who are not suspected of a specific deceptive act. Although recent developments suggest improvements in polygraph technology, the fundamental problem of the lack of relationship between arousal and dishonesty remains. At least some practical success in using polygraph tests can be attributed to what social psychologists call the bogus pipeline.
