Deception Research


I found chapter 13 to be quite interesting as I have taken both Qualitative and Quantitative Research courses in my college career. With that said I am very much familiar with research methods. In terms of doing a research study on deception, my research question would be something along the lines of “How do college students ages 18-21 recognize when they are being lied to?” I made this research question very specific (college students 18-21) so that it would be easier to conduct my survey. For this research study I would most likely used mixed methods; and utilize both survey and performance research. The surveys would give me a general idea of what facial expressions or body movements others most commonly use to identify deception. I would then test my results by conducting those specific facial expressions or body movement in performance research. Those who I conduct my performance research on should have no idea about my study as their knowledge make affect my results.
