Linguistic Indices of Deception as Manifested by Women: A Content Analytic Study.
Mancillas, William R. Todd; Kibler, Robert J.
Recent research indicates that fourteen linguistic and paralinguistic patterns--thought to measure uncertainty, vagueness, dependence, and negative affect--discriminate between men's truth telling and deceptive language behavior. This study sought to determine if these same patterns also discriminate between women's truth telling and deceptive language behavior. Seventy-four tape-recorded interviews provided the data for this study. Analysis of the data indicated that only one of the patterns, the "disparaging statements" index, significantly discriminated between women's truth telling and deceptive language. (Author/MAI)
