| The Truth Behind the Liar |
How good are you at detecting lies? Lying is pervasive in everyday life, and researchers are learning fascinating things about how and why humans practice deception, and why lies can be hard to detect. Producer Judith Kampfner takes us into the lab to learn about the scientific detection of lying, the psychological reasons why people lie, and why some people are afraid to lie.
The Truth Behind the Liar was produced by Judith
Kaempfner.
It was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
