The successful detection of deception is of critical importance to adaptive social relationships and organizations, and perhaps even national security. However, research in forensic, legal, and social psychology demonstrates that people are generally very successful deceivers. The goal of the current research was to test an intervention with the potential to decrease the likelihood of successfu...

Self-centered and other-regarding concerns play important roles in decisions of deception. To investigate how these two motivations affect deception in fairness related moral hypocrisy, we modulated the brain activity in the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ), the key region for decision making involved in self-centered and other-regarding concerns. After receiving brain stimulation with tra...

In many legal proceedings, fact finders scrutinize the demeanor of a defendant or witness, particularly his or her nonverbal behavior, for indicators of deception. This meta-analysis investigated directly observable nonverbal correlates of deception as a function of different moderator variables. Although lay people and professionals alike assume that many nonverbal behaviors are displayed more...

Deception is virtually ubiquitous in warfare, and should be a central consideration for military operations research. However, studies of agent behaviour simulated have typically neglected to include explicit models deception. This paper proposes that computational model approximates the human deceptive planning process would enable authentic representation strategic deception multi-agent syste...

In this paper, we show how the calculation of partition coefficients for the analysis of Genetic Algorithms may be extended to nonbinary alphabets. We demonstrate the use of such coefficients in the analysis of deception and the construction of fully deceptive problems of any given order. We also show how previous analysis of static deception may be extended to the non-binary case.
