Over 40 years of work on lying in psychology and communication has investigated numerous 'cues to deception'- the subtle signals people show when they are lying. One of these cues to deception is 'response latency' or the gap that occurs between questions and the lying response. The current investigation uses the methodology of conversation analysis to re-consider the question of response latency in the context of lying. Drawing on data from two naturalistic sources, the television shows COPS and the Jeremy Kyle Show, this investigation analyses response latencies in order to show the regular organization of gaps between turns in both lies and non-lies. The current investigation demonstrates that in blame shifting turns which are lies, any gaps between turns result from a display of upcoming 'trouble', rather than being related to lying per se. The investigation highlights the need to analyse lies in the contexts in which they are told, taking prior and subsequent talk into account.
在心理学和传播学领域，人们对说谎已经进行了 40 多年的研究，探索了许多“欺骗线索”——人们在说谎时表现出的微妙信号。这些欺骗线索之一是“反应时滞”，即问题和说谎反应之间的时间差。本研究采用会话分析的方法，重新考虑了说谎情境下的反应时滞问题。本研究借鉴了两个自然主义来源的数据，即电视节目《警察》和《杰里米·凯尔秀》，分析了反应时滞，以展示谎言和非谎言中话轮之间的间隙的规则组织。本研究表明，在指责转移的谎言中，任何话轮之间的停顿都是由于即将出现的“麻烦”而导致的，而不是与说谎本身有关。该研究强调，需要在讲述谎言的语境中分析谎言，同时考虑到之前和之后的谈话。
