Abstract

It is the purpose of this article to offer a set of standards for the interpretation of polygraphic (lie detection) records. Those few readers who have had considerable specific experience may find here little that is unfamiliar to them. However, those who are interested in the tactics of criminal interrogation and would like to know more about the basis of lie test interpretation, or those who are beginning a specialized study of deception and have access to a lie detector, will find here representative standards to guide them. If publication of the accompanying charts makes possible a more common understanding of lie detection test criteria and encourages the use of the tests in criminological applications, our purpose will have been served.
