  • Training Observers to Detect Deception Effects of Self-Monitoring and Rehearsal

    Open AccessMark A Turck, Gerald R MillerARTICLEHuman Communication Research1990Cited by: 12References: 24

    It was predicted that trained observers would detect deception more accurately than untrained observers. More specifically, it was predicted that the highest deception detection accuracy would be found among trained observers judging the veracity of low self-monitors and unrehearsed liars, whereas the lowest detection accuracy would be found among untrained observers judging the veracity of high self-monitors and rehearsed deceivers. It also was …

  • Second-Guessing Second-Guessing

    Gerald R MillerARTICLEAnnals of the International…1989

    Though Shakespeare’s familiar caveat counsels that both borrowing and lending are social taboos, most people, including the Bard himself, would doubtless opt for the latter practice over the former. To be cast in the role of lender implies possession of some economic, social, or intellectual resource deemed sufficiently valuable to be coveted by others not fortunate enough to possess it in adequate supply. By contrast, borrowing is a humbling act…

    Although a considerable body of recent research has addressed the problem of deceptive communication, few studies have examined deceptive communication in personal relationships. We argue that the occurrence, substance, and outcomes of deceptive communication are markedly influenced by the nature of the communicators' relationship. To redeem this claim, we examine how several differences between impersonal and personal relationships may influence…

  • Come to Think of It

    Open AccessJames B Stiff, Gerald R MillerARTICLEHuman Communication Research1986Cited by: 26References: 7

    In Phase 1 of this study, communicators responded truthfully or deceptively to positive or negative interrogative probes. In Phase 2, the interviews were shown, at four levels of probe exposure, to observers who rated the communicators' eracity. In Phase 3, verbal and nonverbal cues were correlated with actual and perceived deception. Although exposure level had no effect on detection accuracy, liars and trulhtellers exposed to negative interroga…

  • Deception and Arousal

    Open AccessMark A Turck, Gerald R MillerARTICLEHuman Communication Research1985Cited by: 10References: 26

    This study tested a physiologically based arousal theory of deceptive communication. The sympathetic activation (skin resistance) of three groups of communicators was monitored. Two of the groups, deceivers and unaroused truth tellers, paralleled the types of communicators used in earlier deception studies; and a third group, aroused truth tellers, was exposed to a noise stimulus to raise their sympathetic activation to a level comparable to dece…

  • Theoretical dimensions of applied communication research

    Gerald R Miller, Michael Sunnafrank et al.ARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Speech1984References: 2

    This paper argues that applied research is best carried out within the context of a sound theoretical foundation. It explores three general ways that applied research programs can contribute both to testing and to refining communication theory: (1) by providing an opportunity to plan and to conduct theoretically‐oriented investigation which also addresses applied issues; (2) by providing the resources to permit conducting research in more realist…

  • Methodological issues in legal communication research

    Gerald R Miller, Norman E Fontes et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs1983Cited by: 1References: 6

    Drawing partially upon examples from a four‐year program of research dealing with the use of videotape in courtroom trials, this paper critically discusses three aspects of trial simulations used to study juror responses: (1) the individuals used as jurors, as well as their expectations concerning the juror task; (2) the amount of information provided for jurors, as well as the primary medium by which it is communicated; and (3) the presence or a…

    This paper examines a number of recent communication studies deal ing with persuasive message strategies, both to identify some of the major findings to date and to underscore some of the important conceptual and procedural problems to be faced in future research. The paper centres on three major areas: (1) the development of a typology of persuasive message strategies; (2) the effects of situational factors on the choice of persuasive message st…

  • Adolescent Perceptions of Parental Persuasive Message Strategies

    Mark A Deturck, Gerald R MillerARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1983Cited by: 2

    The purpose of this study was to investigate adolescent perceptions of parental persuasive communication. Uniting research on parental control techniques with studies examining adolescents' perceptions of conjugal and parental power, the present study interprets earlier findings from the latter avenue of inquiry in light of attribution theory and argues that adolescent perceptions of parental power are grounded in parental persuasive message stra…

  • Learning Theory Approaches to Persuasion

    Open AccessJudee K Burgoon, Michael Burgoon et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research1981

    This review synthesizes relevant research dealing with the processes of learning and suggests its applications to compliance gaining. The two major issues addressed are: (1) to what degree can learning theories explain the acquisition of new attitudes and behaviors, and (2) to what degree are attitudinal and behavioral changes governed by learning theory principles? The learning theories discussed are grouped into three categories: stimulus-respo…

  • The Role of Initial Conversations in Determining Attraction to Similar and Dissimilar Strangers

    Open AccessMichael Sunnafrank, Michael J Sunnafrank et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research1981Cited by: 39References: 24

    The present study focused on identifying the independent and conjoint influence of attitude similarity and initial interaction on interpersonal attraction to relative strangers. Participants were informed they would be working on a project with either an attitudinally similar or an attitudinally dissimilar stranger. Half of the participants next engaged in an initial interaction with their partner and the other half did not. All participants then…

    Open AccessJoyce Ellyn Bauchner, Elyse A Kaplan et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research1980Cited by: 10References: 15

    The research examined the relationship of available and used nonverbal and total information when observers make deception attributions during initial exposure. Twelve interviewees underwent a procedure designed to induce deception; this yielded six deceitful and six truthful interviewees, as reflected in behavior exhibited during a postprocedure interview. Eight coders estimated the amount of available nonverbal and total information. Eighty obs…

  • The Truth-Deception Attribution

    Open AccessDavid R Brandt, David Brandt et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research1980Cited by: 21References: 15

    This study investigated the relationship between an observer's familiarity with the normal, truthful communicative behavior of an individual, and the observer's ability to detect deception on the part of that individual. Specifically, an attempt was made to provide an experimental test of the degree of linearity between familiarity and judgmental accuracy in detecting deception. After exposure to varying amounts of a communicator's normal, truthf…

  • Detecting Deceptive Communication From Verbal, Visual, and Paralinguistic Cues1

    Open AccessJohn E Hocking, Edmund P Kaminski et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research1979Cited by: 18References: 13

    This experiment examined how differences in the verbal and nonverbal behaviors available to persons influenced their accuracy in detecting deceptive communication. Earlier research found that when the context of the lying involved the concealment of emotional responses, observers were more accurate when they observed persons' bodies only than when they observed their heads. The present experiment extends this research by: (1) examining observer a…

    Open AccessGerald R MillerARTICLEHuman Communication Research1978Cited by: 26References: 27

    This paper details four alternative perspectives for conceptualizing the interpersonal communication process, emphasizing their implications for the theorist and researcher of interpersonal communication. The four perspectives discussed are the situational approach, the developmental approach, the law-governed approach, and the rule-governed approach. The strengths and limitations of each perspective are examined, and some suggested priorities fo…
