Among the many cues investigated, Criteria-based Content Analysis (CBCA) and criteria based on the reality KEYWORDS Contnt Aalyis (BCA)andcritriaCriteria-based Content monitoring (RM) approach have been most prominent. However, Analysis; CBCA; reality research with these cues used as 'tools' has not fully exploited monitoring; deception cues; their potential. We critically discuss statistical approaches used in deception detection past research and recommend a series of 12 principles or guidelines researchers should follow to design, analyze and report future studies on detecting deception with verbal content cues. To illustrate some of these points, we present analyses from two separate studies: A quasi-experiment in a field setting conducted with adults with intellectual disabilities who truthfully or deceptively described a negative autobiographical event to an interviewer, and a large-scale simulation study where adults wrote an account of either an experienced or an invented significant life event. Accounts in both studies were rated with CBCA and RM criteria, as well as by 'naive' raters. The guidelines should help to increase the quality and transparency of research in this area. Studies on detection of deception date back to the beginning of applied psychology over a hundred years ago. These studies have used a wide variety of approaches, trying to detect deception from physiological changes and neuropsychological processes, from visible nonverbal and paraverbal cues, and from linguistic and verbal characteristics of statements (e.g. Masip, 2017; Vrij, 2008). Here we focus on two sets of verbal content cues: Criteria-based Content Analysis (CBCA) and reality monitoring (RM) criteria. CBCA criteria In a comprehensive review of the historical legal, belletristic and psychological roots of 'statement reality analysis', Undeutsch (1967) described a series of reality criteria which are supposed to be superior, both qualitatively and quantitatively (i.e. to appear more fre- quently), in statements of self-experienced events than in false accounts (either invented, fabricated, fictitious or distorted). This assumption is generally referred to as the CONTACT Jaume Masip jmasip@usal.es This article has been republished with minor changes.
