先前关于测谎能力的文献有一个有趣的悖论。在团体层面,人们在猜测水平上发现别人的谎言。然而,当被要求评估自己的能力时,人们报告能够检测到谎言(即,自我报告的测谎)。理解这一悖论很重要,因为依赖可信度评估和欺骗检测的决策可能会产生严重的影响(例如,相信别人,法律问题)。在两项在线研究中,我们测试了个体差异是否解释了自我报告的测谎能力的差异。我们评估了人格特质(六大人格特质,黑暗三合会),同理心,情商,文化价值观,信任级别,社会可取性,相信自己的测谎能力.在两项研究中,平均自我报告的测谎能力高于机会水平。然后,较低的群体外信任度和较高的社会期望水平预示着较高的自我报告测谎能力。这些结果表明,社会信任和规范塑造了我们对自己的测谎能力的信念。
Previous literature on lie detection abilities bears an interesting paradox. On the group level, people detect others\' lies at guessing level. However, when asked to evaluate their own abilities, people report being able to detect lies (i.e., self-reported lie detection). Understanding this paradox is important because decisions which rely on credibility assessment and deception detection can have serious implications (e.g., trust in others, legal issues). In two online studies, we tested whether individual differences account for variance in self-reported lie detection abilities. We assessed personality traits (Big-Six personality traits, Dark Triad), empathy, emotional intelligence, cultural values, trust level, social desirability, and belief in one\'s own lie detection abilities. In both studies, mean self-reported lie detection abilities were above chance level. Then, lower out-group trust and higher social desirability levels predicted higher self-reported lie detection abilities. These results suggest that social trust and norms shape our beliefs about our own lie detection abilities.
