Science of Lying and Deception

DESCRIPTION

COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B08CQBV7QZ From the advent of fake news

to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoff&#8217sappeal to investors, people can be

astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit

them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be

dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to

operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a &#8220trth-default&#8221 We uncritically

accept most of the messages we receive as &#8220hoest&#8221 We all are perceptually blind to

deception. We are hardwired to be duped. The question is, can anything be done to militate

against our vulnerability to deception without further eroding the trust in people and social

institutions that we so desperately need in civil society?Timothy R. Levine&#8217sDuped: Truth-

Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program

of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception - truth-default theory. This

theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as

true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially. Further,

because most deception is enacted by a few prolific liars, the so called &#8220trth-bias&#8221is

not really a bias after all. Passive belief makes us right most of the time, but the catch is that it also

makes us vulnerable to occasional deceit.Levine&#8217sresearch on lie detection and truth-bias

has produced many provocative new findings over the years. He has uncovered what makes

some people more believable than others and has discovered several ways to improve liedetection

accuracy. In Duped, Levine details where these ideas came from, how they were tested,

and how the findings combine to produce a coherent new understanding of human deception and

deception detection.&nbspDupd is skillfully narrated by Scott Pollak.PLEASE NOTE: When you
