Key Take Away :
Learn the craft of interviewing using skill, artistry and best practices to understand the psychology of what motivates an interviewee to tell the truth.
Overview :
Most people believe they can tell when someone is lying, especially if it is someone they know, such as their child, spouse, or a friend. And they probably can. However, they might not have the ability to detect whether someone is telling the truth, is being deceptive, or is lying when conducting an investigative interview training and sitting across from the person for the first time. And if they can, they might not be able to articulate how they reached their conclusion. It is critical that skilled investigator training makes you conduct legally acceptable interviews, evaluate the responses, and be able to articulate their conclusions for the official record.
Interviewing is a craft that involves skill and artistry combined with best practice processes or steps. The craft of interviewing involves understanding the psychology of interviewees, developing the art of human interaction, and applying proven established interviewing steps. A professional interviewer needs to understand what motivates an interviewee, including suspects, witnesses possible witness, and peripheral individuals, to lie. Equally important, interviewers need to understand what motivates an individual to tell the truth.
Along with this understanding, professional interviewers must be able to detect truth, deception, and lies by applying established interview best practices and using learned skill to evaluate verbal, non-verbal, and paralinguistic behavior.
