NEED-TO-KNOW
CONCEPTS
What is Polygraphy?
It is the scientific method of detecting
deception with the use of a polygraph
instrument. This is the new name of LIE
DETECTION.
BALOCOS
What is a Polygraph?
The term "polygraph" means "many writings."
The name refers to the manner in which selected
physiological activities are simultaneously
collected and recorded.
The polygraph is a recorder of a psycho-
physiological changes occurring within the
examinee's body as the polygraph examiner asks a
series of test questions.
NEED-TO-KNOW CONCEPTS
A polygraph (commonly referred to as a lie detector) is
an instrument that measures and records several
physiological responses such as:
blood pressure,
heart rate,
respiration rate, and
electro-dermal activities
while the subject is asked and answers a series of
questions, on the basis that false answers will produce
distinctive measurements. The polygraph measures
physiological changes caused by the sympathetic nervous
system during questioning.
NEED-TO-KNOW CONCEPTS
What is a Lie Detector?
It is the popular but misleading name of the
Polygraph. The instrument was so named because it
makes various ink recordings of a person's body
functions which will be interpreted by the
polygraphist to determine whether the subject has
been lying or not.
What is the other name of the Polygraph?
It is also called "Truth Verifier" since statistics show
that the vast majority of the instances the
instrument verifies an innocent person's
truthfulness.

What are the Concepts of Polygraph Examination?
3. Red Lie - This involves political interests and motives because this
is a part of communist propaganda strategy. This is prevalent in
communist countries or communist infested nations.
Example: Propaganda-brain-washing and blackmail via espionage
and treason.
What are the General Kinds of Lie?
4. Black Lie - A lie which accompanies pretensions and
hypocrisies, intriguing to cause dishonor or discredit
ones good image.
GUTANG
2. Bold-faced lie - is one which is told when it is obvious to all
concerned that it is a lie.
For example, a child who has chocolate all around his
mouth and denies that he has eaten any chocolate is a
bold-faced liar.
9. Jocose lies - are those which are meant in jest, and are
usually understood as such by all present parties. Teasing
and sarcasm are examples.
BADIELES
3. Tournament Liars - Are those who love to lie and
are excited by the challenge of not being detected.
For them an interview is a contest and wants to win,
these person realizes that they will probably be
convicted but will not give anyone the satisfaction of
hearing them or her confesses, the want that people
will believe that the law is punishing an innocent
person.
Types of Liars
5. Ethnological Liars - are those who taught not to be a
squealer (squeal - to cry or to shrill voice-used by
underworld gang in order for their member not to
reveal any secret of their organization).
Types of Liars
What is the Theory of Lie Detection?
ANS is found at the center of the brain and its central controls
is in the "hypothalamus" - a group of nerve cells of the brain
that reflexes - those that we cannot control consciously such as
our heart beat, pulse rate, increase and decrease in blood
pressure and the expansion and constriction of arteries are
governed by the autonomic nervous system.
When one of our senses detects a threat to our well-being, it
sends a signal to the autonomic nervous system, which
activates its sympathetic division regardless whether threat is
physical or psychological.
In polygraph testing, the receptor is the ear of the
subject, which receives the threatening question
or stimulus from the polygraphist.
The stimulus is transmitted from the ears via
sensory neurons into the brain where the
hypothalamus analyzes, evaluates and resolves
that particular question. It makes a decision for
the subject as to whether it is threatening
situation.
CUECO
What is the Non-verbal Behavioral Assessment?
"He that has no eyes to see, and ears to hear, may convince
himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent,
he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal comes out of him from
every pore."
What are the Categories of Non-verbal Behaviors?
1. Emblems - These are non-verbal behavior that expresses the
entire communication. No spoken words are necessary. Emblems
are accurate clues of person's true feelings and statements.
However, emblems cannot be seen as universal or they do not
have the same meaning in all society. Interviewers must be very
careful against misreading emblems and must take into
consideration that emblems are dependent on an interviewee's
societal and cultural
background.
Example:
Rising of a person's hand standing alongside the road
to "hitch" a ride, even though he never said a word.
Thumb rising when asked how he feels about being interviewed.
What are the Categories of Non-verbal Behaviors?
Example:
Speaker who uses his hand to demonstrate the beat of his words.
A distasteful facial expression of a person as he tells you that what
he is eating is not very good.
Banging on the table by a person with his fist as he speaks angrily.
What are the Categories of Non-verbal Behaviors?
When asked, "Did you commit that crime?" the suspect may
verbally reply, "No I did not!" If the response were accompanied by
an illustrator, like touching the chest, he would be confirming his
innocence. Verbally he would be saying, "I didn't do it!" then he
reinforces the statement nonverbally by pointing to him saying,
"You can look right at me, because I didn't do it!" On the other
hand, if he had covered his mouth as he squeezed his nose, he
would have used negative adapters. Covering his mouth makes the
verbal message more difficult to understand, while squeezing the
nose indicates disbelief in what is being said.
