About
The first volume devoted exclusively to verbal lie detection research
Verbal Lie Detection has emerged as one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas within deception detection, placing it at the forefront of contemporary research. This state-of-the-art volume, dedicated to honoring Professor Aldert Vrij, brings together leading international scholars to provide an in-depth examination of different verbal approaches to detecting deception, reflecting both the field's maturity and its ongoing evolution. Focusing exclusively on verbal lie detection, the book reviews the field's historical and theoretical background and provides detailed coverage of the most established and empirically supported techniques, while also addressing critical challenges that define the current research frontier. These include deception in groups and across cultures, deception among children, the detection of false intentions, practitioner training, and the translation of scientific findings into applied settings.
By engaging with both foundational approaches and emerging perspectives, as well as their real-world implications, Verbal Lie Detection captures the complexity and promise of verbal lie detection as a core domain of deception research and offers a comprehensive guide for scholars and practitioners.
