Science Café presents Dr. Julie Suhr on “Detecting Deception” on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 5 p.m. in the Front Room at Baker University Center.
Suhr, Professor of Psychology at Ohio University, first began studying deception during her undergraduate years, when she used polygraphs in her research. Since then she has studied ways to detect deception–both deception of others and also self-deception–and how they present in the context of clinical assessment and diagnosis.
In her Science Café, Suhr will discuss the evolutionary and psychological theories behind why people deceive others (and themselves) and the challenges to detecting deception in humans in the medical and psychological setting. Suhr specifically will discuss how common medical and psychological deception is, why it can be so hard for people to be aware of deception, and methods that have been developed for detecting deception in the medical and psychological fields.
