Truth-Default Theory Clause Samples

Truth-Default Theory. The first theory of deception that I describe is Truth-Default Theory, proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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...
