The Palgrave Handbook of Deceptive Communication

Zusatztext

This handbook explores the topic of deception in human communication, offering a comprehensive examination of the field, rethinking current approaches to the subject, and presenting original, innovative research. Highly prominent and emerging deception scholars from around the world investigate the history of the study of deception, the myriad forms of deceptive behavior, cross-cultural perspectives on deceit, and strategies for detecting and deterring deception. As truth-telling, deceit, and the many grey areas in-between are at play in nearly every context of communication, individual chapters are devoted to deception in social and personal relationships, deception to gain sex and during sexual intercourse, deceit in the workplace, the production of deception in online environments, deceit in criminal interrogations, visual deception, and lies that occur in the realms of politics, public relations, and mass media. This interdisciplinary handbook is meant for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, academics, and researchers who are interested in the pervasive nature of deception, truth, and ethics.
