Abstract

A brief review of the early and current applications of lie detectors to detecting deception is presented. Research findings on the accuracy of polygraphs in real life situations are discussed. Additionally, the circumstances of polygraph testing (i.e., friendly or adversarial), methods of "beating" the polygraph, and the acceptance of polygraph results in the courtroom are reviewed.
