Detecting Lies in the Media Is Possible: Who Is Lying?
Come to our lab to PLAY, follow the link, and vote. We’re going to publish the results in two weeks to give everyone enough time to vote.
A little help on where to look:
· Don’t let your eyes trick you.
· Words are important.
· Don’t get caught only in body language analysis. It’s simple to read the body, but the person may not always be in front of you to analyze.
· Micro-expressions are not possible to read in a picture.
· If you have a picture and a statement or comment, you have all the data you need.
Statement Analysis also called investigative discourse analysis and scientific content analysis (SCAN), is a technique for analyzing the words people use to try to determine if what they said is accurate. This technique can be used to detect concealed information, missing information, and whether the information that the person has provided is true or false. This methodology was developed by Avinoam Sapir in 1987 and is now taught all over the world.
Forensic linguistics was the methodology used to capture David Kaczynski, the Unabomber, after 17 years of the FBI’s dead-end investigation. Linguistics professor Roger Shuy helped predict where the Unabomber was from and worked with James R. Fitzgerald from the FBI profiler unit in resolving the case.
Now, who is lying and why?
Clarification: This study was done by a 3 person/ institution in 2015, and we are using the data to play. The original name, study, and result will be publishing at the end of the poll process. Rgds
