TRUTH AND TRUST LAB

The Truth and Trust Lab at University of British Columbia studies whether humans can accurately discriminate friend from foe, how this process unfolds, and the conditions under which we are persuaded to place our trust in others. We utilize ethologically rich stimuli and diverse methods - including nonverbal behavioral coding, implicit cognitive tests, psychophysiological and neuroendocrine reactions - to understand how trust, affiliation, and influence unfold in the real-world... What verbal and nonverbal behaviours discriminate liars from truth-tellers in real, high-stakes situations? How do deceptive emotional expressions differ from genuine ones?
