The Psychology of Deception and Lying

Adrian Furnham and John Taylor

Chapter 8 in The Dark Side of Behaviour at Work, 2004, pp 193-214 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Cheating, sabotage, stealing and whistle-blowing at work, almost by definition, involve deception of one sort or another. This chapter will look at the difficult but important business of the detection of deception. How easy and reliable is it to spot people lying? Are some people simply better liars and liar-spotters than others? And what of the conscience-free, psychopathic liar — can they ever be detected?
