In 4 experiments, the authors investigated the influence of situational familiarity with the judgmental context on the process of lie detection. They predicted that high familiarity with a situation leads to a more pronounced use of content cues when making judgments of veracity. Therefore, they expected higher classification accuracy of truths and lies under high familiarity. Under low situational familiarity, they expected that people achieve lower accuracy rates because they use more nonverbal cues for their veracity judgments. In all 4 experiments, participants with high situational familiarity achieved higher accuracy rates in classifying both truthful and deceptive messages than participants with low situational familiarity. Moreover, mediational analyses demonstrated that higher classification accuracy in the high-familiarity condition was associated with more use of verbal content cues and less use of nonverbal cues.
在 4 项实验中，作者研究了判断情境的熟悉度对谎言检测过程的影响。他们预测，对情境的高度熟悉会导致在判断真实性时更明显地使用内容线索。因此，他们预计在高度熟悉的情况下，真相和谎言的分类准确性会更高。在情境熟悉度低的情况下，他们预计人们的准确率会更低，因为他们会更多地使用非言语线索来判断真实性。在所有 4 项实验中，情境熟悉度高的参与者在分类真实和欺骗性信息时的准确率都高于情境熟悉度低的参与者。此外，中介分析表明，在高熟悉度条件下更高的分类准确性与更多地使用言语内容线索和更少地使用非言语线索有关。
