Effects of countermeasures on the control-question polygraph test were examined in an experiment with 120 Ss recruited from the general community. Ss were given polygraph tests by an examiner who used field techniques. Twenty Ss were innocent, and of the 100 guilty Ss, 80 were trained in the use of either a physical countermeasure (biting the tongue or pressing the toes to the floor) or a mental countermeasure (counting backward by 7) to be applied while control questions were being presented during their examinations. The mental and physical countermeasures were equally effective: Each enabled approximately 50% of the Ss to defeat the polygraph test. The strongest countermeasure effects were observed in the cardiovascular measures. Moreover, the countermeasures were difficult to detect either instrumentally or through observation.
在一项从普通人群中招募120名受试者的实验中,研究了应对措施对控制问题测谎测试的影响。受试者由一名使用现场技术的考官进行测谎测试。20名受试者是无辜的,在100名有罪的受试者中,80名接受了使用身体应对措施(咬舌头或用脚趾压地)或心理应对措施(倒着数7)的训练,以便在测试过程中提出控制问题时应用。心理和身体应对措施同样有效:每种措施都能使大约50%的受试者通过测谎测试。在心血管测量中观察到最强的应对措施效果。此外,无论是通过仪器还是观察都很难检测到这些应对措施。
