This article reports two worldwide studies of stereotypes about liars. These studies are carried out in 75 different countries and 43 different languages. In Study 1, participants respond to the open-ended question "How can you tell when people are lying?" In Study 2, participants complete a questionnaire about lying. These two studies reveal a dominant pan-cultural stereotype: that liars avert gaze. The authors identify other common beliefs and offer a social control interpretation.
本文报道了两项关于说谎者刻板印象的全球性研究。这些研究在75个不同国家开展,涉及43种不同语言。在研究1中,参与者回答开放性问题“你如何判断人们是否在说谎?”在研究2中,参与者完成一份关于说谎的问卷。这两项研究揭示了一种占主导地位的跨文化刻板印象:说谎者会避免目光接触。作者还识别出了其他常见观念并给出了一种社会控制的解释。
