An Introduction to the Science of Deception and Lie Detection, 1st Edition, is a textbook that provides a foundational overview of the psychological science of deception and human lie detection. The volume combines classic and contemporary research with theoretical models to explain how individuals deceive and evaluate truthfulness.
The text examines cognitive mechanisms involved in lying, behavioral cues associated with deceit, and the processes behind making lie-truth judgments. It also addresses developmental factors in how deception emerges in children.
Structured to support learners at all levels, each chapter summarizes key topics and systematically evaluates empirical findings. The volume serves as a core resource for courses in psychology, criminal justice, and related behavioral fields.
