Abstract：
Despite the prevalence of deception, people rarely doubt others\' sincerity. However, indirect evaluations of liars and truth-tellers may differ even in the absence of suspicion about veracity. Across three studies, we provide evidence for the truth attraction effect in two samples of target stimuli and three samples of participant judges. Target people are perceived as more attractive when telling the truth versus when they lie, an effect mediated by target warmth and openness. The truth attraction effect is stronger for female targets (vs. males); however, it is unaffected by the gender of the judge. Findings suggest people may be more likely to approach truth-tellers versus liars, even when not actively judging veracity. We discuss the challenges and benefits of treating both targets and participants as random factors in linear mixed-effect analyses and join the chorus of calls to increase the number of target stimuli in deception research.
摘要：
尽管欺骗盛行,人们很少怀疑别人的真诚。然而,即使没有对真实性的怀疑，对说谎者和说实话者的间接评估也可能有所不同。在三项研究中，我们为两个目标刺激样本和三个参与者法官样本中的真理吸引效应提供了证据。目标人在说实话时与说谎时相比更具吸引力，一种由目标温暖和开放性介导的效应。真相吸引效应对女性目标更强(与男性)；然而，它不受法官性别的影响。研究结果表明，人们可能更有可能接近讲真话的人而不是说谎者，即使不积极判断真实性。我们讨论了在线性混合效应分析中将目标和参与者视为随机因素的挑战和好处，并加入了呼吁的合唱，以增加欺骗研究中目标刺激的数量。
