Chapter Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This chapter examines research on the enactment and perception of deception. Interpersonal deception theory argues that a liar\u2019s communication consists of both intentional (strategic) attempts to appear honest and unintentional (nonstrategic) behaviors that are beyond the liar\u2019s control. The chapter suggests that many scholars have expressed skepticism about certain assumptions contained in interpersonal deception theory and other models. It discusses the ways in which characteristics of the liar\u2014in addition to characteristics of the lie being told and the deceptive situation\u2014affect the process of deception. The chapter examines the opposite side of the coin: deception detection. It also examines possible ways to improve deception detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
