Abstract：
Verbal content analyses to differentiate truthful and fabricated statements, such as the Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA), are used in lie detection research as well as in practice to assess the credibility of statements in criminal court proceedings. Meta-analyses demonstrate validity of verbal content analyses above chance, but the traditional research paradigms usually lack either ecological or internal validity. The authors discuss the usage of immersive virtual reality scenarios to solve this dilemma, as both types of validity can be increased by this approach. In this integrative review of existing literature on the current use of virtual scenarios in forensic and victimology research, the authors extract strengths and limitations for possible VR studies in the context of verbal content analysis. Furthermore, novel ethical challenges involved are summarized and implications for future studies proposed. Overall, we argue in favor of using virtual reality scenarios to validate methods for verbal content analysis, but also urge to consider ethical limitations regarding unwanted short- and long-term aftereffects.
摘要：
言语内容分析，以区分真实和捏造的陈述，例如基于标准的内容分析(CBCA)，用于测谎研究以及在实践中评估刑事诉讼中陈述的可信度。元分析证明了言语内容分析高于机会的有效性，但是传统的研究范式通常缺乏生态有效性或内部有效性。作者讨论了沉浸式虚拟现实场景的使用来解决这一困境，因为这两种类型的有效性都可以通过这种方法来提高。在对现有文献的综合回顾中，有关虚拟场景在法医和受害者学研究中的当前使用，作者在言语内容分析的背景下提取了可能的VR研究的优势和局限性。此外，总结了涉及的新的伦理挑战，并对未来的研究提出了启示。总的来说,我们主张使用虚拟现实场景来验证言语内容分析的方法，但也敦促考虑道德限制对不想要的短期和长期后果。
