N2 - Pairs of liars and pairs of truth tellers were interviewed and the amount of eyecontact they made with the interviewer and each other was coded. Given that liarstake their credibility less for granted than truth tellers, we expected liars tomonitor the interviewer to see whether they were being believed, and to try harderto convince the interviewer that they were telling the truth. It was hypothesisedthat this monitoring would manifest itself through more eye contact with theinterviewer and less eye contact with each other than in the case of truth tellers. Atotal of 43 pairs of participants took part in the experiment. Truth tellers hadlunch in a nearby restaurant. Liars took some money from a purse, and wereasked to pretend that instead of taking the money, they had been to a nearbyrestaurant together for lunch. Pairs of liars looked less at each other anddisplayed more eye contact with the interviewer than pairs of truth tellers. Theimplications of these findings are discussed.
