Behavioral inhibition and electrodermal activity during deception.

J W Pennebaker, C H Chew

    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Inhibiting behavior during deception requires physiological effort, as shown by increased skin conductance. This finding suggests a link between behavioral inhibition and potential psychosomatic health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychophysiology
    • Behavioral Neuroscience

    Background:

    • The assumption that inhibiting ongoing behavior requires physiological work is explored.
    • Deception detection often relies on physiological and behavioral indicators.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the physiological correlates of behavioral inhibition during deception.
    • To determine if inhibiting behavior during a guilty knowledge test (GKT) is physiologically demanding.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects underwent a guilty knowledge test (GKT) paradigm, attempting deception.
    • Electrodermal activity (skin conductance) was measured during the GKT.
    • Overt behaviors, including eye movements and facial expressions, were recorded for a subset of subjects.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of overt behaviors decreased during deceptive responses.
    • This behavioral inhibition was accompanied by increased skin conductance levels.
    • Findings suggest nonverbal correlates of deception.

    Conclusions:

    • Behavioral inhibition during deception is physiologically taxing.
    • Increased skin conductance may serve as a nonverbal indicator of deception.
    • Long-term behavioral inhibition could be a contributing factor in psychosomatic diseases.
