NPR’s Dina Temple-Raston is doing a three part series on deception (the second part of which aired on today’s Morning Edition). I think it’s pretty excellent and worth paying attention to. I do think however, that my own notion of the “lies that we are interested in” as opposed to the casual non-interesting lie is key. Lie detection only makes sense in the context of catching spies, fraud etc. It doesn’t seem to be fruitful in terms of finding out what your colleagues really think of you.
