Upper, Face. Lower) as the dependent measures. Significant effects will be explored with univariate ANOVAs and appropriate post hoc contrasts. Levine, T.R.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] For the effect of posture on microexpression recognition, the METT scores (%) were to be analyzed using a one-way, between-subjects ANCOVA, with Posture (Open or Closed) as the between-subjects factor and trait Empathy as the covariate. The relationship between deception detection accuracy (overall, lies, and truth) and facial expression recognition are assessed using non-parametric (Spearman’s rho) correlations.

[ Google Scholar] During each instance of this quest, a prisoner is brought before the Inquisitor and their charges are read by Josephine—the Inquisition’s ambassador and chief diplomat. They then have a chance to respond before the power is given to you to decide their fate. Punishments include things like exile, execution, further imprisonment, and more (depending on the convict in question). Riskind, J.H.

To investigate the effects of posture on deception detection, the judges’ accuracy responses were coded and analyzed using SDT, producing an accuracy (A’) and bias (B”) variable. Two two-way mixed ANCOVAs are planned with Posture (Open or Closed) as the between-subjects factor, and Stakes (High and Low) as the within-subjects factor, while controlling for individual differences in empathy. Significant effects will be analyzed using post hoc contrasts. I felt that it's somewhat detrimental to have a manager who holds hiring and firing power to be sitting there in judgement of people's rating decisions.
