Psychophysiological Detection

Individuals, differing in levels of Machiavellianism, were involved in a mock crime psychophysiological detection of deception study. It was hypothesized that those scoring high on Machiavellianism would perceive detection results as more accurately reflecting their actual guilt or innocence, especially under conditions of high arousal, than those with low scores. The hypothesis was based on assumptions that subjects must appropriately discriminate amongst crime-relevant and irrelevant questions, that this discrimination is moderately difficult with Control Question Tests, and that high-Mach scorers under arousing conditions will make this discrimination more readily than low-Mach scorers. Partial support for the hypothesis was found in that guilty high-Mach scorers were more accurately detected than guilty low-Mach scorers. This result did not hold for innocent Mach scorers, and there was no augmentation of the effect in conditions designed to increase emotional arousal.
