3118.95 Are good liars good lie detectors? Sam Hoare, Alex Joseph, Billy Lee, Edinburgh
University, UK
Who will be a good liar? We examined the possibility that lie detection ability and lying ability are
connected by shared perceptual mechanisms. 50 subjects acted as both liars and lie detectors in a
video based lie detection experiment. We assessed the effects of sociability, gender and
self-confidence on deception ability. Both sociability and lie detection ability predicted lying
ability. The findings suggest that competent deceivers are perceptually attuned to deception cues.
This heightened perceptual acuity may be linked with processes in emotional intelligence (EI)
such as emotion perception and regulation.

Normal University, China
The developmental trend of children’s TOM and relations among TOM, peer acceptance & social
behaviors were probed in this study .123 3-5-year-olds children were chosen by peer nominations
and classified in one of four peer status groups. Children were tested on four TOM tasks, verbal
intelligence, as well as teacher ratings of their social behaviors. The results showed that: 1) during
3 to 5 years, young children’s TOM developed rapidly; 2) There are significant differences of
children’s TOM in different groups, popular children were found to score higher on TOM than
rejected children. 3) There are significant relations among TOM, social preference, prosocial and
aggressive behaviors.
3118.97 An investigation of the relationship between attachment styles and interpersonal
problems, Mohammad Ali Besharat, Mohammad Golinejad, Ali Asghar Ahmadi, Tehran
University, Iran
To examine the relationship between attachment styles and interpersonal problems, 120
undergraduate students were included in this study. Subjects were asked to complete the Adult
Attachment Inventory (AAI) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP). The results
revealed that interpersonal problems were significantly related to attachment styles: 1) subjects
with insecure attachment styles (avoidant, ambivalent) reported interpersonal problems more than
subjects with secure attachment styles did; 2) subjects with ambivalent attachment style reported
interpersonal problems more than subjects with avoidant attachment style did. Results and
implications are discussed in terms of attachment theory.
