A System for Multi-person, Multi-modal Data Collection in Behavioral Information Systems

The majority of deception research to date has focused on deception in the context of dyadic communication. Among this body of research are efforts to identify what signals can be used to discriminate deceivers from non-deceivers. The general form of this research involves observing (typically recording to observe and/or manually code after the fact) relevant behaviors of individuals with ground truth knowledge of which individuals are deceiving and which are not. In this chapter, the general process is discussed, and considerations for extending it from dyadic to group observation are considered. Additionally, this chapter provides details of the particular implementation from which many results described in the remainder of this book are found.
