[edit]I have just suggested that this article be merged into Polygraph - though truthfully, I liked the earlier redirect and am considering reverting to it. This page seems to consist only of information that is better covered in other locations. Thoughts? Magichands 21:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
This article needs a lot of upgrading. First, lie detection is much more than using a polygraph. In fact, the polygraph isn't a lie detector, it's the person who analyses the graphs that is the actual "lie detector".
Secondly, there are other ways. Namely; body language analysis, micro expression analysis, and statement analysis.(And probably a whole lot more)
The polygraph is categorized as a body language analyser.
When lying you act different at that spesific point, and it causes changes in posture, the size of the pupils might change, heartbeat, voice-tone and use of language differs etc. from the rest of the ordinary way of act. Thats what body language analysis and statement analysis deals with. Micro expressions is sudden movementi like milks in facial muscles lasting for a fracture of a second. Analysis of this is ofthen done by replaying interviewing-tapes over and over again at slow motion. Perhaps Stan B. Walters should be mentioned here, he has been on TV lots of times on this subject, he is giving lessons on this, as well as being an investigator on this subject.
Statement Analysis is a colder method, analysing the words and sentences of any written statement, written by the subject itself, or dictated. There are involuntary traces of ones real thoughts and intentions in everything we say and write. This method of analysis was invented/discovered by Avinoam Sapir. Should mention him too.
I'm not good at editing articles, but here is some good stuff for background material for those who can. -Jorgen
- I would recommend against the merge, since there are so many different kinds of lie detection schemes, it seems useful to have an overview article. -- Beland 17:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Why isn't anything about body language included? Alanasings (talk) 11:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Overview needed
[edit]Right now, this article is mostly just a pointer to lots of articles on specific techniques. It would be nice to have an overview of common challenges, comparisons for effectiveness and feasibility, history of various techniques including those with no articles, and also general coverage of how people detect lies "intuitively". -- Beland 17:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Deletion of Eye Contact
[edit]This really should go without explanation, but I'd like to suggest that the section on eye contact be deleted as it has no references, let alone any information on the topic at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valethar (talk • contribs) 13:59, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- Avoiding eye contact or too much eye contact.[citation needed]
The only problem I have with this is that it's not a complete sentence. It should be rewritten as a complete sentence, not just as a list item. JIP | Talk 20:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
References
[edit]I added a new reference to the reference list but do not know how to give it a number, etc, can someone please help? Thanks
- See Wikipedia:Citing sources - but if you have problems, just include the references in the text, or make a note of it here, and I'll sort it out. The article is a bit of a mess, and anything that can be done to improve it will be welcome. 13:20, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Regular updating
[edit]This page needs regular updating, which is very important from socio-economic point of view. For the betterment of humanity there is a pressing need to find a lie-detection mechanism to effectively control the controllers (or control-freaks, i.e., those in governance - the politicians, the police, the government officials and staff members, etc.). There is also a need to reduce the number of advocates and judges present in the system and restore the power to the common man. We must have faith that eventually science will overcome this hurdle. Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 05:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
A section "External Links" is needed
[edit]For instance, I have found many voice stress analysis software currently being sold in the market, such as:
- Lie Detector Software eX-Sense
- TRUSTER TRUTH VERIFICATION SOFTWARE
- Voice Lie Detector Software X13-VSA
... etc. Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 05:53, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sure there's a lot of bogus software out there on the market, and I don't think it would be helpful to readers to link to it. It's unclear that any of the software listed above has undergone independent scientific testing, which would be a good litmus test. -- Beland (talk) 17:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Can focusing?
[edit]"A study has found that in The Guilty Knowledge Test subjects can focusing on the alternative answers and make themselves look innocent.[14]"

Change lead section, expand?
[edit]As part of my Advanced Psychology Course, I am adding some suggestions on improving the article. There is a conflict between the lead section and the content of the article. So, perhaps since Polygraph article already exists, the current article would be better positioned as an article on all possible (scientifically tested) ways of detecting lies. In that case, the lead section would need to be overwritten to reflect that. Concerning the expansion, it could include modern research studies on mediators and moderators of lie detection. For instance, how an emotional state of the recipient affects the ability to detect deception. Here is one empirical study on that: doi: 10.1037/a0030466 —Shurkey (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
