Abstract

Ample scientific research has confirmed significant linguistic differences between truthful and deceptive discourse in both laboratory and field experiments. The current investigation focused on whether indicators of truth or deception are context-independent or are influenced by two context factors: motivation and modality. A 2 (veracity: truthful/deceptive) by 2 (incentives: high/low) by 3 (modality: FtF/audio/text) factorial experiment revealed that linguistic indicators are significantly related to veracity but results are highly sensitive to contextual factors.
