History
My interest in deceptive CMC goes back to about 1993AFOSR grant 2001-2006Deception literature had largely left unexplored issues dealing with CMC, groups & culture
Four studies investigating cultural differences, two of which were dissertations that will be reported on hereSlide4
Justification for Cultural Studies
With the rapid spread of CMC, it is now possible for billions of people all over the world to make video calls with each other via Skype for free
With increased (and low cost) exposure to people from many different cultures, it wouldn’t hurt to expand our understanding of other cultures
In any communication event, the possibility of deception is always present – What do we know about deceptive practices and attitudes towards deception in cultures other than our own?Slide5
Overall Research Question
Do espoused cultural values affect deceptive behavior and deception detection accuracy within and between people of varying cultures using CMC? Slide6

Study 1: Media selection
Dissertation by Chris Furner, West Texas A&M UniversityRQ: How does espoused national culture influence media choice in a deceptive context?Slide19
Research Design
Created 4 scenarios, which varied by:Familiarity (stranger or friend)
Severity of the situation (trivial or serious)
Embedded scenarios in questionnaires, which also included demographic and other items
Questionnaire translated into Mandarin & back to English; discrepancies addressed
Distributed to 261 American students and 194 Chinese students (PRC)Slide20
Research Procedures
Questionnaires distributed to students at universities in US & PRCEach questionnaire contained 1 of the 4 scenarios
In each scenario, boss asks employee to lie
Respondent asked to choose one medium for the deceptive task
Respondent asked to give a reason for the choiceSlide21

Findings by Cultural Characteristic
Individuals who scored highly on espoused collectivism preferred to lie using text-based media (F (3, 370) = 2.811, p=0.039)
Individuals who scored highly on espoused power distance preferred to lie using voice-based media (F (3, 370) = 3.01, p=0.030)
Individuals who scored highly on espoused masculinity preferred to use visual media when lying (F (3, 370) = 7.683, p < 0.001)Slide26
Study 2: Deception detection
Dissertation by Carmen Lewis, now at Troy UniversityWork supported by Gabe Giordano, who was at IESE in Barcelona at the time data were collected, & who is now at Miami University
RQ1: To what extent does CMC affect deceptive behavior and deception detection?
RQ2: How do espoused cultural values affect deceptive behavior and deception detection accuracy within and between people of varying cultures using CMC?Slide27
Experimental DesignSlide28
Experimental Procedures
Phase 1
Conduct CMC Résumé Interviews
Subjects: Students
Honest and dishonest communication took place during the questioning of the résumé-
based interview
The interviewee was videotaped:
20 American, 20 Spanish
Phase 2
Edit Tapes
The interview tapes were edited to separate honest and dishonest exchanges
2
stimulus tapes
32 snippets per tape:
16 honest, 16 dishonest
8 audio/video, 8 audio, 8 video, 8 text
Phase 3
Test Deception Detection Ability
Third-party observers watched the stimulus via a computer:
106 American, 104 Spanish
Each observer was asked to document where the lying occurred and what cues indicated that the interviewee was being dishonest

Preliminary Findings Regarding Reliable Indicators of Deception
Both groups, visual cues:
Adaptors (excessive hand movements, fidgeting)
Spanish interview participants, visual cues:
Smiling
Swallowing more strongly than usual
Pressed lips
American interview participants, visual cues:
Less facial pleasantnessSlide39
Reliable Indicators of Deception
(
con’t
)
Both groups, verbal cues:
Changes in vocal pitch
Repetition
Illogical sentence structure
Brief replies
Pauses & hesitationsSlide40
Reliable Indicators of Deception
(
con’t
)
Easy cues for all judges to detect:
Pauses & hesitations
Changes in vocal pitch
One incorrect cue commonly cited:
Gaze aversionSlide41
Concluding Remarks
There are differences in deceptive behavior and these differences do seem to have some impact on deception detection
However, there is still much to learn about these differences, especially at the intersection of culture, deception & CMC
