Question

Please follow each Instructions below for this HR/GSR
Lab report

- REQUIRED HEADINGS: • Title Page • Introduction • Methods • Results • Discussion •
References • Figures (Thus, no procedure is needed to include)
- Title- HR/GSR Lab Report
- INTRODUCTION: • Introduce topic: • What is the polygraph? What does it measure?
How effective is it? • What does previous research say about the polygraph and its
effectiveness? • Why is this an important topic? • What (in general) will this experiment
do? (don’t discuss specific procedural details) • What is the expected outcome? • Need
at least one peer-reviewed in-text citation used in this section
- METHODS: • Define independent and dependent variables • Within or between design
and why • Describe participants and how they were grouped, if applicable • What
equipment was used in the study? • What did you do (steps followed, in paragraph
form)?
- RESULTS: • Report: • Means • SDs(from excel below) • Significance of t or F statement
with p-values • Include a reference to your Figure • Don’t interpret your results here, just
eport them
- DISCUSSION • Interpret results (don’t restate numbers from the results section) • Why
were the results significant or non-significant • Connect to info discussed in Introduction •
Do these results line up with your expectations from the intro and previous research?
Why do you think they did or did not line up? • Connect back to the citation(s) used in the
intro • Limitations and how they may have impacted results • Real world applications,
future directions, etc.
- FIGURES • Include “Figures” section (this goes at the end, AFTER References) •
Include one APA style figure depicting means for lie and truth conditions (this will be a
simple bar graph) • Do not forget the “Figures” header and APA-style caption for the
figure. PLEASE DON’T INCLUDE FIGURES OTHER THAN THE BAR GRAPHS,
WHICH IS PROVIDED IN EXCEL BELOW.
- FORMATTING: • APA STYLE • Times new roman • 12pt font • No colons after headers
• 1 inch margins • Italicize statistical a
eviations (i.e. M, SD, n, t, F, p) • PAST TENSE
(because you have already done this study) • Everything in paragraph form, no bullets •
Anytime you think “should I cite this,” you should. Follow APA (cite anything not common
knowledge).

Introduction
A polygraph or a lie detector test is a device or a procedure that measures and records several physiological indicators namely blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a series of questions are asked to a person and he/she responds to them.
In reality polygraph actually measures arousal which seems to be affected by an individuals reactions to particular questions that lead to anxiety, nervousness, fear, confusion, psychosis, depression or other emotions. These emotions lead to a change in any physiological indicator which can be attributed to the fact that lying makes an individual uncomfortable and leads to varied changes in the body.
The effectiveness of the polygraph tests is debatable. The government and the scientific bodies suggest that polygraphs may be inaccurate and can be defeated by countermeasures. The American Psychological Association states that "Most psychologists agree that there is little evidence that polygraph tests can accurately detect lies."
In 2002, a review by the National Research Council found that, in populations "untrained in countermeasures, specific-incident polygraph tests can discriminate lying from truth telling at rates well above chance, though well below perfection". However, it also suggests that "polygraph accuracy for screening purposes is almost certainly lower than what can be achieved by specific-incident polygraph tests in the field".
Many of the challenges facing polygraph arise from poor training and a lack of standardization in the polygraph profession. (Honts & Perry, 1992)
Polygraph is an important topic since this is widely used in many countries across the globe to detain criminals and provide evidence of crimes committed by them. In case polygraph is not a good measure of figuring out the truth then the evidence given will not hold any substance to them and should not be considered in any criminal argument whatsoever.
With the help of the given experiment one is able to perform controlled tests and identify how well polygraphs are able to detect a lie from the truth.
