The Frequency of Appearance of Evaluative Criteria in Polygraph Charts

Abstract

FRI recorded on forms the deception related reactions found on 616 polygraph charts from 174 criminal cases in which ground truth was known. Using the Department of Defense guide to chart interpretation to define reactions, the extracted data was sorted and Counted. The frequency of each of the 22 evaluative criteria was rank ordered, ranging from 5 to 4,793. The rank order pattern stayed remarkably constant across questions, gender, and truth or deception status. Recommendations were made with respect to scoring generic zone comparison tests and the elimination of some currently listed deception criteria.
