Truth-Default Theory (TDT) (2014, background): “Third, the How People Really Detect Lies module (Park et al., 2002) holds that outside the deception lab in everyday life, most lies are detected well after-the-fact— based on either confessions or the discovery of some evidence showing that what was said was false.”
People Lie for a Reason: Three Experiments Documenting the Principle of Veracity (2010, background): “Park, Levine, McCornack, Morrison, and Ferrara ( 2002 ) observed that people largely rely on third-party information and physical evidence when detecting lies.”
A new theoretical perspective on deception detection: On the psychology of instrumental mind-reading (2008, background): “Research shows that people report relying partly on the consistency between a person's statement and physical evidence when assessing veracity (Park, Levine, McCornack, Morrison, & Ferrara, 2002 , for similar findings see Greuel, 1992 ; and Granhag, Stromwall, & Hartwig, 2005 )”
Detecting Deception from Emotional and Unemotional Cues (2009, background): “Although many lies are uncovered due to physical evidence or to the presence of third-party information (Park et al. 2002), sometimes this may be insufficient or even non-existent.”
