  • Special Issue on Innovations in Nonverbal Deception Research

    Deadline for submission: March 15, 2023

    The Journal of Nonverbal Behavior invites manuscripts for a Special Issue on Innovations in Nonverbal Deception Research. Since Ekman and Friesen’s seminal 1969 “leakage hierarchy” paper on nonverbal cues to deception, research in this area has captivated the attention of social psychologists and communication researchers alike. Although early studies suggested that nonverbal cues to deception were more telling than verbal ones were, more recent research suggests that the opposite may be true, raising the question of how or if nonverbal behavior should be considered in evaluating veracity. A perennial topic in deception research has also been the accuracy of human judgements of veracity, the impact of nonverbal training efforts, and the extent to which nonverbal cues influence these assessments. Recent advances in methodology, computer science, neural networks, and artificial intelligence suggest that a comprehensive issue on Innovations in Nonverbal Deception Research would be fruitful.

    All papers must be submitted with a cover letter and cover page indicating that the author(s) wishes the manuscript to be considered for publication in the Special Issue on Innovations in Nonverbal Deception Research. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed following standard journal procedures.
