IT’S THE INTENTION THAT COUNTS. A REVIEW ON DECEPTION DETECTION FOCUSED ON INTENTIONS

Abstract

For years the research on deception detection has been guided by classical theories that support the idea that the liar gives out behavioral indicators which betray him/her. Within the new lines of research, deception detection focused on intentions has emerged. In this paper we review the studies on deception detection focused on intentions. We briefly explain episodic future thought (EFT) and the first approaches in this field through the comparison of deception detection in past and future events. Additionally, we take a look at the studies that use unexpected questions in a non anticipated domain (trip planning phase, quality of the planning, and EFT), and we finish by discussing the ones that use evidence strategically.
