Accuracy in Interpersonal Perception
Abstract
The extent to which gender and self-monitoring correlated with the ability to detect deceit in interpersonal interactions was examined. 20 men and women were videotaped while describing someone they liked and someone they disliked, both honestly and deceptively. Sixty-one different subjects (26 males and 35 females) were then shown the videotapes and asked to make dichotomous judgments of the 40 senders' truth versus deception. Gender and self-monitoring were not significantly correlated with the ability to detect deception. However, the means of the judgemnts were in the expected direction. Methodological considerations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
