Presentation Comments #2

Deception/Motivation group:
Your study is fascinating. I think that even though many of your results weren't significant, that still says a lot. Kailyn's comment makes an excellent point that we are simply really bad at detecting deception, in any situation, and we also are accustomed to believing that someone is telling us the truth. I think this definitely contributes to the finding that each group had about the same level of detection. I also think that your finding of a much higher word count in the high motivation condition is really interesting, and unexpected. I would love for you (or anyone) to dig deeper into this, and to try to find out why this actually happens. Great job guys.
