以前的研究表明，现实世界中的谎言是通过确凿的证据来检测的，比如物证或直接供词，而不是通过非语言线索。然而，我们认为发现谎言是一个过程，非语言线索是一个重要的信息来源，可以引起怀疑，然后触发寻找确凿的证据。我们复制了一项原始研究，该研究表明非语言线索无关紧要，但实验性地操纵了关键问题的措辞，即“发现”谎言与“怀疑”谎言。第二项研究进一步操纵措辞，询问“事件”与“线索”，导致一个人发现谎言。两项研究的结果都表明，那些被问及怀疑谎言的人比那些被问及发现谎言的人更频繁地引用非语言行为。因此，与以前的研究相比，这些发现表明了行为线索（例如语言和非语言行为）的重要性，特别是在测谎的早期阶段。
Previous research suggested that real-world lies are detected through hard evidence, such as physical evidence or a direct confession, and not via nonverbal clues. However, we argue that discovering a lie is a process, and nonverbal clues are an important source of information that can induce suspicion, which then triggers the search for hard evidence. We replicated an original study suggesting the irrelevance of nonverbal clues, but experimentally manipulated the wording of the critical question as ‘discovering’ a lie versus ‘suspecting’ a lie. A second study was conducted that further manipulated the phrasing to ask about ‘events’ versus ‘clues’ that led one to detect the lie. Results of both studies showed that those asked about suspecting a lie cited nonverbal behaviors significantly more often than those asked about discovering a lie. Thus, in contrast to previous research, these findings suggest the importance of behavioral clues (e.g. verbal and nonverbal behavior), specifically in the early stage of lie detection.
