In order to examine how personality traits, emotional arousal and physiological arousal affect deception confidence, students ( = 102) completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R) as well as stress and deception tasks while their heart rate variability was measured. Findings indicated psychoticism did not moderate how physiologically aroused participants were while viewing emotionally salient stimuli (video of a road traffic accident) or the thought of enacting deceit, although this came close to significance. However, participants (particularly males) higher in psychoticism reported less subjective distress after imagining enacting deceit than those lower on psychoticism. Extroversion had no impact on physiological arousal when viewing emotionally salient stimuli or thinking about enacting deceit. However, extroverts reported more subjective distress after thinking about enacting deceit than introverts. Also, deception confidence was not correlated to any of these variables. Future research could examine a sample higher in psychoticism and how this trait impacts deception confidence.
为了研究人格特质、情绪唤醒和生理唤醒如何影响欺骗信心,102名学生完成了艾森克人格问卷修订版(EPQ-R)以及压力和欺骗任务,同时测量他们的心率变异性。研究结果表明,精神质在参与者观看情绪突出刺激(道路交通事故视频)或想到实施欺骗时,对其生理唤醒程度没有调节作用,尽管这接近显著水平。然而,精神质得分较高的参与者(尤其是男性)在想象实施欺骗后报告的主观痛苦比精神质得分较低的参与者少。外向性在观看情绪突出刺激或想到实施欺骗时对生理唤醒没有影响。然而,外向者在想到实施欺骗后报告的主观痛苦比内向者多。此外,欺骗信心与这些变量均无关联。未来的研究可以考察精神质得分更高的样本,以及该特质如何影响欺骗信心。
