Truth-Default Theory Sample Clauses

Truth-Default Theory. The first theory of deception that I describe is Truth-Default Theory, proposed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx. TDT [153] aims to address general rules of deception and argues that humans are generally truth biased, both as senders and as receivers of communicative messages, thus they are in a truth-default mode most of the times. However, it is also important to note that TDT does not imply that humans are always in a truth-default mental state, as various triggers can take individuals out of this state. “The truth-default involves a passive presumption of honesty due to a failure to actively consider the possibility of deceit at all or as a fallback cognitive state after a failure to obtain sufficient affirmative evidence for deception.” [153, loc. 2151] TDT merely argues that humans mostly presume honesty in a passive manner. This argument is backed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, the proponent of TDT, with numerous controlled empirical studies on how humans judge the truthfulness of others. These studies have led to the proposal of concepts such as the truth-lie base-rate, which informs us that if an individual is not actively confronted with evidence of decep- tion, then that individual will consider communication to be truthful; the veracity e ect, which specifies that people are more accurate when judging truthful messages compared to dishonest messages; the probing e ect, which specifies that individuals have a tendency to answer interrogation questions in a minimal, but truthful manner instead of answering accurately; and the sender's honest demeanor, which strongly influences deception detection variation, where by demeanor we understand a set of behavioural characteristics that define a sender’s character or personality. TDT is one of the most comprehensive theories on deceptive communication and because it is also a modular theory with standalone sub-theories, models and hy- potheses, it would deserve its own set of PhD theses to be fully reviewed, summarised and analysed. TDT teaches us about the following aspects of deception [153]: how there are only a few prolific liars vii [153, loc. 2188]; that deception detection accu- racy is slightly above 50% viii and there are only a few transparent liars out there [153, loc. 2189]; that most lies are detected after the fact, from evidence or confessions, and only very few lies are detected through the passive observation of cues [153, loc. 2189]; that understanding the communicative content inside the communicative con- text...
