From a functional perspective, deception can evolve in animal populations but should be constrained by the costs associated with detection. It then follows that withholding information should be more prevalent as a form of deception than active falsification of information because of the relative difficulties associated with detecting cheaters. Empirical studies of deception have focused on the...

| We present in this paper a theoretical analysis that relates an irregularity measure of a tness function to the so-called GA-deception. This approach is a continuation of a work 18] that has presented a deception analysis of HH older functions. The analysis developed here is a generalization of this work in two ways : we rst use a \bitwise regularity" instead of a HH older exponent as a basis...

We present the first study to map deception across the entire lifespan. Specifically, we investigated age-related difference in lying proficiency and lying frequency. A large community sample (n = 1005) aged between 6 and 77 were surveyed on their lying frequency, and performed a reaction-time (RT) based deception task to assess their lying proficiency. Consistent with the inverted U-shaped pat...

Online deception is disrupting our daily life, organizational process, and even national security. Existing deception detection approaches followed a traditional paradigm by using a set of cues as antecedents, and used a variety of data sets and common classification models to detect deception, which were demonstrated to be an accurate technique, but the previous results also showed the necessi...

Sexually deceptive orchids lure pollinators by mimicking female insects. Male insects fooled into gripping or copulating with orchids unwittingly transfer the pollinia. The effect of deception on pollinators has been considered negligible, but we show that pollinators may suffer considerable costs. Insects pollinating Australian tongue orchids (Cryptostylis species) frequently ejaculate and was...

Abstract Introduction: To more fully understand the impact of specific language attributes on deception in corporate communication, we used a stratified random sample of tobacco industry documents to test a small number of individual potential automated linguistic indicators of corporate deception: cognitive-emotional verbs, allness and superlative terms, nonbinding verbs, and group mentality. ...

which is now recognised as an authority on this subject. The first chapter of the work under consideration deals with " The Psychology and Pathology of so-called Occult Phenomena." In it the author attempts to give a pathological explanation of various " spiritualistic manifestations," the common stock of all " mediums." The possibility of fraud and wilful deception as a probable explanation of...

We first introduce GOLEM, a Multi-Agent world designed to study: different social attitudes and personalities in interaction and, in particular, attitudes in delegating tasks to other agents (search for help) and in adopting goals of others (help); reasoning about delegating and adopting tasks and about the other’s personality. Secondly, we shortly present the different forms of deception that ...
